Our story

That Nordic Feeling.

A soft pause from the world: calm, considered, human and connected to place.

Afro-Nordic hospitality

Clarity meets generosity.

Nordic structure, simplicity and respect for space meet Nigerian warmth, creativity, culture and soul.

The result is not transplanted Scandinavian minimalism. It is hospitality shaped here: through people, food, art, material, service and the rhythms of Lagos and Abuja.

Our promise

Guests should feel received, not processed.

Human

Attention that feels natural, never scripted.

Independent

Character over sameness. Soul over scale.

Grounded

Nigerian place and culture as real context, not decoration.

Built over time

From four rooms to two flagships.

The Nordic Villa

The story begins in Abuja on 8 October with four rooms, offices and meeting spaces.

Nordic Residence

An early chapter in the brand’s steady development.

Nordic Hotel Abuja

The Abuja expression grows and evolves.

Lagos & The Nordic Abuja

The current flagship expressions carry the feeling forward in two distinct Nigerian cities.

The founders

Independent from the beginning.

Nordic Hotels Nigeria was founded by Anders Mogensen, Christian Schwarz Lausten, Jonas Schwarz Lausten and Nwaya Chukwuemeka Collins.

Their beginning matters because it explains the brand’s human scale: built carefully, shaped by relationships and interested in long-term quality rather than chain sameness.
