Accor and Mayan sign five‑hotel development for Sub‑Saharan Africa
Accor has signed a master development agreement with Mayan Properties, a subsidiary of Resources Investment, to develop five hotels across Sub-Saharan Africa, adding more than 1,100 keys to its regional portfolio. The plan includes Novotel Nouakchott in Mauritania, a 154-key new build, and Mövenpick Moroni in Comoros, a 159-key conversion, with further projects to follow in key destinations.
The agreement aligns with Accor’s strategy to accelerate growth in Sub-Saharan Africa and Mayan’s aim to channel UAE-backed, sustainable investment into tourism. According to the companies, the developments are intended to support business and leisure demand while creating jobs and boosting local economies. Accor currently operates more than 175 properties across Africa – over 33,000 keys across 15 brands – with 60-plus properties in development.
