Meridien Hotel to be renamed Pullman Douala Rabingha

Cameroon’s economic capital, Douala, now has a Pullman hotel. This new hotel, Pullman Douala Rabingha, is the rebranding of the hotel many know to be Meridien Hotel.

The Accor group, which owns this high-end international brand, signed a management contract with Société nouvelle des cocotiers, the hotel’s owner. The company itself belongs to the Fadil group which is headed by Cameroonian businessman, Mohamadou Bayero Fadil.

The hotel will undergo extensive renovations to meet the Pullman brands standards by December 2016. “Though Douala is the country’s main point of entry, the hotel offering clients low rates as there are only 13 hotels in that locality. Falling on internationally renowned professionals with top-notch technology guarantees the success of Cameroon’s economic and touristic development,” stated the Fadil group’s CEO, Mohamadou Bayero Fadil.
