Eko Hotels & Suites

Eko Hotels & Suites is the go-to hospitality complex for international conferences, concerts, and business stays in Lagos.
A Multi-Purpose Complex at the Heart of Victoria Island
Eko Hotels & Suites stands out for its sheer scale: the complex combines several hotel towers, one of West Africa's largest conference centers, a shopping arcade, restaurants, and Eko Signature, its newest and most upscale tower. Its lagoon-front location, minutes from Eko Bridge and the Victoria Island business district, makes it a preferred base for international delegations, major economic conferences, and the offices of banks and oil companies operating in Lagos.
An Iconic Venue for Lagos's Major Events
Beyond hospitality, Eko Hotels regularly hosts concerts, award ceremonies, and major corporate events through its Eko Convention Centre, which can accommodate several thousand people. This dual role as both hotel and event venue makes it a must on Lagos's economic and cultural calendar, hosting everything from business summits to concerts by international Afrobeats artists. Its lagoon-front position also offers an open view of Lagos Bay, a rare feature for such a centrally located establishment.
Half a Century of Hotel History
The property first opened in 1977 as the Eko Holiday Inn, making it one of the very first international-standard hotel complexes in Victoria Island. Ownership was formally acquired in 2006 by the Chagoury Group, a conglomerate founded by brothers Gilbert and Ronald Chagoury, which has since grown the site into a complex of 825 rooms and suites spread across four distinct towers: Eko Gardens, Eko Hotel, Eko Suites, and the newest, Eko Signature. This nearly fifty-year history gives the property institutional status within Lagos's hospitality landscape, regularly celebrated at events marking the group's decades-long presence in Nigerian tourism and hospitality.
A Group with Deep Roots in Lagos
The Chagoury Group, also behind the private financing of the Eko Atlantic City urban development, established itself in Nigeria in the 1980s and has since diversified well beyond hospitality into real estate, construction, and agribusiness. This link between Eko Hotels & Suites and the Eko Atlantic development, both driven by the same family conglomerate, illustrates the strategic continuity of this group in transforming the Victoria Island waterfront over recent decades.
