LEVA Expands Presence in the MEA Region with its fifth Property in Africa

 Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Friday, 08. December 2023

LEVA, a dynamic lifestyle hotel brand launched in 2018, is set for a significant impact on the African market with their fifth venture – the acquisition of a premier property that is set to be developed in upscale Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria in partnership with Pedestal Africa. This strategic maneuver represents another noteworthy milestone for LEVA, coinciding with the commemoration of their fifth anniversary in the region, and underscores their dedication to reshaping the hospitality industry. The emphasis is on transitioning their focus from a traditional brick-and-mortar hotel model to positioning themselves as a customer service industry leader.

 

The newly acquired greenfield project is slated for completion within two years and is poised to become a hospitality haven in Lagos. Situated in the heart of Victoria Island, the project encompasses a planned hotel featuring 200 guest rooms, restaurants, a fitness centre, and a comprehensive range of facilities and amenities designed to elevate the guest experience during their stay.

Both entities, driven by a shared commitment to excellence and a dedication to creating outstanding hospitality environments that support economic growth in the region, find their collaboration perfectly in sync with LEVA's mission of offering innovative and memorable experiences to its guests.

 

J.S. Anand, Founder and CEO of LEVA, expressed his excitement about the expansion, stating, "We are thrilled to commemorate our 5th anniversary by solidifying our presence in Africa through the noteworthy acquisition in Lagos, Nigeria, marking our third greenfield Leva Project in this burgeoning market.
