The name change, is meant to reflect the change of management from French into largely Ghanaian hands.
At a cocktail event to officially outdoor the new name, General Manager of the hotel, Mr Roman Krabel, noted that there was no change in the company ownership and that all other details and structures remained unchanged.
He said the switch from Novotel Hotel to Accra City Hotel took effect from January 1, 2016.
“Branding as Accra City Hotel allows us to maintain our leadership position in the market, while attracting more business travel guests from around the world,” Mr. Krabel said.
He stated that Accra City Hotel intends to refurbish its guest rooms, lobby, restaurant, swimming pool and other public areas this year to increase guest comfort and choice.
The hotel was incorporated in 1986 as part of the Novotel chain which has close to 400 hotels and resorts worldwide.
The hotel has, over the last few years, seen some fierce competition from Movenpick and the newly-opened Kempinski.
On recent attacks in Burkina Faso and Mali, Mr Krabel noted that security had been tightened through CCTV surveillance and strict security protocol to ensure the total security of its clients and at the same maintaining its relaxed atmosphere.
