Legacy Hotel opens in Gabon
The Hotel Le Cristal, located on Pl. de L'independence, Estuaire, in Libreville, has officially opened its doors and will cater to the influx of business and leisure travellers to the city every year.
Situated less than a four hour flight from South Africa, and an estimated 15 minutes from the international airport, Hotel Le Cristal forms part of Legacy Hotels' plans to expand their group to significant parts of the continent. The hotel will not only provide guests and business people with accommodation that's located within walking distance from the business district and the Presidential Palace but also a calm and serene atmosphere be it for a meeting, conference or business venture or just a break away from routine.
Known for its collection of hotels, resorts, lodges, golf, executive suites and residential estates, Legacy Hotels has 23 hotels under its belt, with Hotel Le Cristal tipping the scales at 24.
A bold move, Mark Havercroft, Business Development Director of Legacy Group Hotels explains "With Gabon's developing infrastructure makes the country an obvious choice location to open a new hotel as the demand for opulent accommodation in Libreville soars".
"Gabon is bordered to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the north by Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon, and to the east and south by the Congo. One of the continent's most stable countries, Gabon is an upper-middle income country with per capita income four times the sub-Saharan African average and Central Africa's only tradable Eurobond. Being the first Legacy Hotel in Gabon it provides the Legacy Group expansion in the western coastal region of Africa allowing an opportunity for further business opportunities and ventures in further parts of the continent," says Havercroft.
"Gabon is an upcoming developing country that is aiming to enhance and accentuate eco-tourism. Therefore not only is Gabon a destination for serenity and tranquillity with all the natural wildlife it has to offer but also a location for business travellers to arrange and utilise the facilities to its utmost potential. Gabon is known to be the second largest forestry potential in Africa with increasing potential in oil and gas, mining and agriculture. Libreville is known to be one of the safest locations in Gabon, and with the increasing business environment a large opportunity for local and international investments."
