Once again, the Lagos hotel market has welcomed a new entrant. Dominion Court Apartments & Rooms, the new hotel, is a one-of-a-kind hospitality offering, which is being introduced to spice the market with upscale facilities and services for an extended stay and to the discerning guests.
Set in Ojodu, a secured and fast-growing neighbourhood in Lagos, which is also close to Ikeja Central Business District, the seat of government and the international airport, the new offering opened to the public on November 31, 2020, despite the year-long challenges, especially the impact of covid-19, which has made many hoteliers to either suspend pipeline hotel projects or defer the opening of completed ones this year.
Dominion Court Apartments & Rooms, which is purpose-built for travellers and guests on an extended stay, features 14 accommodation options including; two spacious and fully furnished three bedrooms, seven two bedrooms, one bedroom, a self-contained apartment and three standard rooms.
Moreover, the upscale and full-service apartment features fully equipped kitchens, en-suite rooms to match the living style of the guests, as well as, offering guests the freedom to live the way they want even in the hotel.

To ensure a memorable stay, Dominion Court Apartments & Rooms offer a range of leisure facilities including; a bush bar, an all-day dining 19-seater restaurant, a gym and swimming pool.
For the work minded guests, the apartment offers a conference room, which hosts over 10 persons.
Beyond catering for extended stay guests, the apartment, which is managed by Six Regions Hotels Limited, leading hospitality consultants, is envisioned to encourage family bonding by offering home-away-from-home feel through its world-class facilities, unique services and peaceful ambience.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony of the hotel, Emmanuel Ele, MD/CEO, Six Regions Hotels Limited, noted that the new hotel opening was timely, especially now there is a need to fill the void created by traditional hotels to extended-stay guests.
Ele, a hospitality expert with over 20 years experience spanning major international hotel brands, noted further that Dominion Court Apartments & Rooms is a response to the needs of the market, and commitment to value for money offerings.
For Peter Emerokwam, chairman of Pikamol Nigeria Limited, the parent company of the hotel, Dominion Court was built primarily on the philosophy of rekindling and consolidating family values and ties, which he regretted having been eroded today.
Emerokwam, who doubles as the chairman of the hotel, noted further that the apartments and suites are designed and furnished with families in mind, as well as, the facilities and service offerings to boost memorable experience while guests are on an extended stay.
He also encouraged Ojodu residents, government, businesses and corporate organisations around the Ojodu-Ikeja axis to take advantage of the unique offerings of the new hospitality outfit to boost their leisure, health and life in general.
However, a highlight of the commissioning ceremony of the new hotel was the cutting of tape by Lanre Tejuosho, former senate committee chairman on health, who was the special guest of honour at the event.
In his remarks, Tejuosho, a senator and medical doctor, disclosed that the new hotel was a product of the hard work and diligence of the chairman, who has been running a successful medical equipment and supply company for decades now.
According to him, the hotel is an investment into the people and giving back to society by providing employment opportunities, quality leisure and closing the housing deficit in Nigeria.
“Nigeria has a 16 million housing deficit and anybody who is providing any form of accommodation like Peter is doing should be commended”, Tejuosho said.
Speaking on the choice of the hotel manager, Emerokwam, who commended Tejuosho for being an old and reliable business partner, noted that Six Regions Hotels parades hospitality experts who have proven themselves over the years. He believes that they will grow the business with their world-class management skills and approach.
Also bearing in mind the safety of guests, the management of the new apartment hotel assured that health and safety measures are in place and strictly adhered to by both staff and guests to ensure the safety of all.
As well, it assured of pocket-friendly rates, insisting that profit is not all that matters in business, but the satisfaction of customers.
