The Pelican Hotel Cantonments Accra, the new destination for modern Ghanaian hospitality in the capital, officially opened its doors this week with a spectacular grand opening ceremony.
Designed to highlight the hotel’s commitment to excellence and its unique offerings, the event was attended by government officials, industry leaders, and key stakeholders. The opening marks a significant milestone for Ghana’s burgeoning tourism sector.
Mr. Philippe Hitti, General Manager of The Pelican Hotel, expressed his excitement during his welcome remarks: “Tonight marks not just the opening of a hotel, but the realization of a vision; one that has been carefully crafted from the ground up with passion, dedication, and excellence at its core.”
Mr. Kofi Okyere-Darko, Director, Diaspora Affairs, Office of the President, lauded the new establishment, stating: “The opening of The Pelican Hotel Cantonments Accra is a testament to the growing confidence in Ghana’s tourism potential, especially as it’s opened just in time for ‘December is Ghana’. This world-class facility will undoubtedly elevate our country’s appeal as a premier travel destination and offer job opportunities for our youth who have gained skills in the hospitality industry. Devtraco’s reputation in the real estate industry speaks for itself, and we have not been disappointed. We are excited to welcome such a distinguished addition to our hospitality landscape.”
The ceremonial ribbon-cutting was led by the dignitaries present, including Mr. Joseph Aidoo Snr, Founder of Devtraco Group; Mr. Neil George, Executive Director of Aleph Hospitality; Mr. Hitti, and Mr. Okyere-Darko.
The grand opening also provided an exclusive opportunity for invited guests and media to go on showroom tours of selected rooms and facilities.
Mr. George spoke to the media afterwards, saying: “The vision for The Pelican was for a haven where authentic hospitality rooted in Ghanaian culture meets modern style, where every guest feels welcome. As managers of the property, Aleph Hospitality is excited by the prospect of bringing global hospitality standards to The Pelican Hotel, as we’ve done across our growing portfolio in Africa and the Middle East.”
Following the ceremony, guests were treated to an exquisite “Food Flying Service”, showcasing signature menu items from the hotel’s diverse culinary offerings. The evening continued with a lively networking session.
