Recently, I went to Nigeria for a much-needed break, and I am not really an adventurer; I am a reluctant traveller. I find excuses not to travel, and one of the major reasons is that I have lived in a sterile, clean environment for years. Mainly because of several health issues I’ve had in the past. I pick up infections easily, so I am very careful where I sleep. Last year summer, my family and I went to Scotland, and we had a blast, and I was keen to replicate that experience.
However, the trip to Nigeria was a solo one, and the luxury and opulence of the hotel I stayed in blew me away. I stayed in Abuja, at the No. 1 Hotel Abuja. Abuja is the federal capital of Nigeria. The address is Plot 499-500, Gaborone Street, Wuse Zone 2, FCT, Abuja, Nigeria. You can phone these lines at +234 903 504 4444, +234 905 880 0700 or email info@no1hotel.com.ng if you want to book directly.
The staff were professional, well-trained and courteous. The room I stayed in was the Royal Luxury Suite. The hotel was draped in luxury. From the bed to the curtains and the furnishings, it is indeed a luxurious boutique hotel. Also, I’m not too fond of hot weather. My room was 16 degrees, and I loved it!
If you’re ever in Nigeria, and need a cool, luxurious place to stay, don’t hesitate to visit No. 1 Hotel Abuja. There’s also a shuttle service from the airport to the hotel, just ask before you book and it would be taken care of. The front desk is open 24 hours, and you can book directly on their website, booking.com etc. Below are some of the images culled from their website.
This was the Royal Luxury Suite with a king-size bed, 65-inch TV, and air conditioning with separate dining and sitting areas.
The staff are lovely and nice, I took this picture myself! 🙂

I enjoyed my three-day stay at No 1 Hotel Abuja and would definitely be staying there next time I’m in Nigeria. Travelling isn’t so bad, and I think I’ll be doing this more often now. My stay in the Royal Luxury Suite, with its luxurious amenities and attention to detail, was a comforting and enjoyable experience I won’t forget in a hurry.
Anyone got any interesting places they have visited? Or hotels they stayed in that’s memorable, please share in the comment.
Much love, always! 🙂

Well, well, well! You sure know how to travel in style. I have yet to go to Nigeria, but based on this review, it will be on my bucket list now. I love me a hot weather! Why on earth would you want to stay in an air-conditioned room when we’re sun-starved here in the UK, girl?
Anyway, each to their own. You should probably move to the Antarctic or Siberia if you love cold weather that much. I’m glad you had a lovely time; next time, let me know, and I’ll tag along!
I’m sure our weather, which has yet to decide whether it should rain or be sunny, will suit you perfectly! 🙂 🙂
Alex, I’d always loved a cold weather and UK’s erratic weather, it’s right up my alley! Anytime I’m travelling to Nigeria or any other African country, I’ll let you know, and you can surely tag along! Thanks for your visit and comment. 🙂
It’s great to see you had a lovely time in Nigeria. I’m itching to visit in the future.

Thank you so much Christy. The hotel is relaxing and they treated me with love and respect, very professional. I forgot to mention their cuisine, every food I wanted, they cooked it! I added weight when I came back. 🙂

Wow. That’s pretty amazing!
