Commenting on the opening Alex Kyriakidis, President and Managing Director, Middle East and Africa, Marriott International, said:

“We are thrilled to build on Sheraton’s proud heritage in Africa that dates back to 1971. Over the last four decades, the brand has maintained its first mover advantage through strategic pipeline development and growth, giving global travellers access to more destinations across the continent.

“Sheraton Bamako Hotel not only marks our entry into a new country, but also serves as a great example of our transformation efforts around the brand.”

Earlier this month Marriott opened its first property in the Ghanaian capital Accra, located opposite the city’s Kokota International airport.
