As a result of misconceptions about the future of the Le Meridien brand following its recent acquisition by Starwood hotel group, Le Meridien's General Manager in Nigeria, Mr. Gerard Bouchereau has explained that far from showing the signs of a sinking ship, the hotel brand was actually a beautiful bride that is wanted by all the handsome suitors at all cost.
The uniqueness of the Le Meridien brand according to Bouchereau is its dainty combination of French refinement and a total European accent for which the hotel has always prided itself.
The impact is all too obvious as posited by the General Manager who has the big task of overseeing the two functioning Le Meridiens in Nigeria-Le Meridien Ogeyi Place, Port Harcourt and Le Meridien Abuja.He also keeps an eagle eye on the development of the Le Meridien Ibom Resort in Uyo to be sure that it conforms to Le Meridien standard.
