It’s with this in mind that Signature Lux Hotels, the hotel group known for its tech-savvy service aimed at the globally-minded business traveller, announces its acquisition by ONOMO Hotels. For both hotel groups, this is an excellent opportunity to go together and stamp its unique brand of business travel across the entire continent.
The ONOMO Hotel Group, a 3* hotel platform, has 10 hotels across eight African countries. Focused primarily on the business traveller, it has been offering its clientele a unique, affordable guest experience by combining contemporary comfort and the art of African living since 2009. ONOMO, which prides itself on its state-of-the-art security and connectivity, is present in business capitals such as Dakar, Abidjan, Libreville, Bamako, Lomé, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Conakry and Kigali.
It’s this obsession with client service that made the acquisition of Signature Lux Hotels a natural fit for the mid-scale specialist ONOMO.
“Once Signature Lux Hotels was on our radar, we knew they had the right formula and product offering to take over the mid-scale hotel industry,” says Cedric Guilleminot, ONOMO CEO. “They are ahead of their years in offering self-service check-in and technological add-ons that attract not only millennials, but the traveller seeking convenience at an affordable price. They are a great addition to the ONOMO portfolio and complement our current brand strategy.”
Samantha Annandale, Regional Operational Director of South and East Africa, adds
“With so many international companies exiting Africa and investment leaving our shores, it is encouraging to see that our group has a fully focussed African strategy. We have exceptional confidence in Africa, especially in the hospitality space and with our strong development pipeline we aim to become one of the leading hotel chains in Africa, for Africa.”
Signature Lux, which will now be known as Signature Lux by ONOMO Hotels, is known for embracing an exciting, creative, eco-friendly and innovative philosophy to the overall guest experience. Focused on providing millennials and business travellers an exceptional and exclusive stay, Signature Lux by ONOMO Hotels truly caters for the connected class that values the freedom to travel.
