Marriott Beach Hotel

Creating a social focus through fun packed landscape

Scape created the social hub of the hotel, designing the versatile elevated lobby terrace, dexterously placed for guests to appreciate the vast ocean views.

Located on prime beach front in Benin’s largest city and economic centre, this Marriott Hotel & Resort is designed to become the focus for modern business and social life in Cotonou. Ideally situated in the diplomatic and government quarter of the city and moments from the airport, this destination is at the heart of Benin’s economic emergence on an International stage, Scape oversaw the Site planning and Concept Design through to Tender Documentation. The hotel offers a central events lawn and a stunning lagoon and Pool Bar & Grille on the beach, with cabanas nestling amongst tropical gardens and a sandy beach lounge with stone fire pits.
