Hôtel du 2 Février

Hôtel du 2 Février is the most prominent skyscraper in Lomé and the tallest building in Togo, reaching a height of 102 meters. Inaugurated in 1980, the building's name commemorates February 2, 1974, the date President Gnassingbé Eyadéma survived a plane crash in Sarakawa. This 36-story tower dominates the capital's skyline and stands as a major symbol of the nation's economic aspirations. Following a period of closure, it underwent extensive renovations from 2014 to 2016 and was reopened as a five-star luxury hotel. Today, it provides state-of-the-art conference facilities, fine dining restaurants, and a large outdoor swimming pool, making it a preferred venue for international diplomats and business travelers. Its location near the Independence Square places it at the heart of the city's political and commercial district. The hotel is not just an architectural marvel but also a historical monument that reflects Togo's post-colonial journey and its entry into the global hospitality market.
