In under six months, the Pelican Hotel, a member of the Devtraco Group of companies, has risen as the epitome of hospitality in Ghana, establishing itself as the top choice for tourists, corporate leaders, and dignitaries.
Nestled in the exclusive Cantonments enclave of Accra, the Pelican Hotel masterfully combines contemporary luxury with striking architectural design. Developed by the renowned real estate firm Devtraco Plus, the hotel presents 134 rooms and suites suitable for both brief visits and extended stays. Its emphasis on comfort, elegance, and practicality is setting an unprecedented benchmark within the nation’s hospitality sector.
This refined destination is redefining modern luxury in Accra’s prestigious Cantonments area, where sophisticated style meets purpose-driven architecture.
During a “Devtraco end-of-year media soiree” on Friday, January 9, 2025, the Head of Sales for Pelican Hotel, Mr. Solomon Wollie-Wollimoh, explained that hotels have pivoted from merely selling rooms and meals to offering intangible qualities like emotional safety and identity creation.
He added that Pelican is noted for its thoughtful-touch, ensuring a memorable stay. He said the hotel’s unique proximity to embassies, corporate offices, and cultural attractions, plus its closeness to the airport (7 minutes’ drive), makes it a preferred destination for tourists, travelers, and businesspeople alike.
For his part, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Devtraco Group, Francis Okoh Okai, clarified that the soiree aimed to acknowledge the indispensable role the media plays in brand development.
He described the soiree as a partnership with the media to offer the media the opportunity to have that life-time experience at the Pelican Hotel whilst also strengthening the relationship that exists between the two entities.
The Director of Development for Devtraco Group, Mr. Sidney Quaye, framed the company’s successes as a springboard for renewed ambition after 30 years of disciplined execution. He said the Group creates places that shape skylines and expressed their commitment to deliver more bespoke and affordable housing for Ghanaians.
“We have so far executed our fulfilled promises to our clients”, Mr. Quaye added. The Pelican Hotel proudly holds three international architecture awards — Best Architecture Multiple Residence – Africa, Best Architecture Multiple Residence – Ghana (5 STAR Award), and Best Mixed-use Architecture – Ghana (5 STAR Award) — highlighting its dedication to superior quality.
Committed to providing personalized service and a genuine Ghanaian encounter, the Pelican Hotel stands as the perfect locale for sophisticated travelers.
