Indeed, the 100% African hotel group announced the opening of its new flagship, ONOMO Casablanca City Center on March 1, 2019. An urban hotel that challenges the definition of mid-scale hotels by offering generous spaces with a refined design and a high-quality service matching the African hospitality.

Present in 9 African countries with 14 operating hotels and 6 more new openings planned in 2019, ONOMO aims to increase this number to 29 with 3,800 rooms based on a current pipeline of 15 hotels, to become the leading pan-African hotel group in the mid-scale segment.

ONOMO, the most African of all hotel brands

ONOMO Hotels Group has preserved a 100% African spirit which defines its unique value proposition. In all ONOMO hotels, furniture, design and gastronomy are an ode to the African continent and a tribute to its culture. ONOMO chooses to be an ambassador for the African lifestyle offering its customers hotels in the heart of Africa, but also Africa in the heart of its hotels.

With the concept “ONOMO Taste”, the group hotels offer the best of local cuisine made from fresh products from the local market. Beyond design and gastronomy, ONOMO positively benefits the local economies by creating opportunity and investing in people wherever the group settles in several ways: job creation, training, sourcing from local suppliers and artisans.

10 years serving the hospitality industry

ONOMO opened its first hotel in Dakar in 2010, which offers 107 rooms. In 2011, the group continued its expansion and opened a second hotel in Abidjan (116 rooms and two suites) and a third in Libreville (118 rooms) in 2012. To this day, ONOMO Hotels has 14 hotels in 9 African countries, namely Senegal, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Mali, Togo, South Africa, Guinea, Rwanda and Morocco.

With the opening of 3 new hotels in Morocco (Casablanca Sidi Maarouf, Casablanca Airport and Tangier) by the end of June and 3 others during the second half of the year, notably in Douala (Cameroon), Dar Essalam (Tanzania) and Maputo (Mozambique), 2019 is a year of consolidation for the group's presence on the African continent and marks the beginning of a new phase of its development.

In order to support the development of the African continent, ONOMO Group has designed a new approach to hotel industry to satisfy the dynamics of a pan-African and international business clientele. This approach is based on service optimization, accessibility, connectivity and security, in order to offer its customers, business or leisure, the best of Africa.
