On offer are 47 well-appointed rooms and suites, including mini suites, superior and deluxe categories. But the penthouse suite, which is the most elevated and more sophisticated in furnishing, is the peak of luxurious accommodation offerings at Citi Residence. But the guests have the option of choosing from its beautifully furnished suites and serviced apartments.

Also on offer is a specialty restaurant that caters to all taste buds, both in-house and other guests; a well-equipped fitness centre for the fitness buffs and health-conscious guests, while its meeting room, built in mind with the serenity of the environment, supports corporate outings, amid world-class facilities. It hosts meetings for up to 50 guests.

Complementing other facilities is the rooftop terrace, which is breathtaking. Truly the views are magnificent from the rooftop of the eight-floor property. From the terrace, the guests can see the luxurious estates and homes in Banana Island, the enthralling Lagos Lagoon and even the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge.

The panoramic views, especially in the evenings, makes the rooftop terrace a must-visit for like-minded guests, amid networking over drinks and finger food at Citi Residence.

Yet, the ample parking space ensures no disruption or noise within the serene neighbourhood.

Moreover, the target market is simply the guest who cherishes tranquil escape, especially in the heart of Ikoyi. But, no matter the reason for your visit; whether business or leisure, the perfect blend of elegance and convenience at Citi Residence will meet your needs.

Speaking on the new property, which is the fourth in Citi Hotel Group’s portfolio, Olufemi Talabi, chairman of the indigenous hospitality group, noted that huge priority was given to the environment of the new hotel, as the property is a boost to the serenity of the prime host community.

‘What we do is to ensure that our properties are conceptualized and built in accordance with the environment where we are,’ he explained.

Considering the highbrow Ikoyi residential area location of the property, Talabi noted that operations are environmentally friendly and skewed towards enhancing the beauty and serenity of the host community.

Again, he insisted that quality matters, especially sustained high quality, which he also noted is synonymous to Citi Residence.

‘When it comes to luxury offerings, we are looking more at the service you provide. So, what we try to do is to ensure that we match our services with the facility itself’.

According to him, Citi Residence, which is more or less like a business hotel, targets people who want a serene environment, because that is the advantage of the highbrow area where they are located, and also the reason they make sure that the rooms and facilities are to that ‘high’ standard.

The luxury at the residence, according to him, transcends the high-quality furniture, glamorous chandeliers and world-class finishings. ‘What is critical about luxury offering is that experience that you create for people, and that memory that was experienced,’ he noted.

Again, the staff members are highly-trained and motivated to ensure quality service delivery that will complement the guests’ experience at the residence.

With a crop of good hospitality offerings within the Ikoyi neighbourhood, there is enough competition.

But Citi Residence doesn’t see competition, it is simply doing the business it understands and enjoys doing.

‘What is important here is that we make sure that we operate in such a way that we don’t disrupt the environment. It is very critical for us. We don’t even allow any noise around here at all. In anycase, we are not in a competition with anyone’.

The above, according to the chairman, captures the essence of Citi Residence, which he insisted is a ‘tranquil escape in the heart of Ikoyi’ for discerning guests.
