Koforidua, Ghana’s newest conference destination
Koforidua’s greenery and natural serenity have
always provided a charming warmth that is a
welcoming break from Accra’s sweltering,
aggressive monotony, and now the likes of Capital
View Hotel are capping her lure with the vital
missing link as a true haven for business and
renewal.

With fascinating rapidity, government and
Non-Governmental Organizations, private groups and
other commercial interests are flocking to the
municipality, thanks to a new wave of multiple
star-rated facilities dotting the capital of one
of Ghana’s most cosmopolitan of regions and giving
hope to the Hospitality Industry and attracting
the image as the preferred conference
destination.

Corporate activities are on the increase within
the Municipality as several organizations
especially those in the Banking & Finance industry
opening up branches.

At a recent Corporate Dinner held by the
management of Capital View Hotel for its clientele
and attended also by governmental and public
institutions, NGOs as well as traditional
authorities, the ‘broadsheet’ smiles were mutual –
an unspoken concord that both sides looked forward
to a long lasting engagement.

In an interview with JOY Business, the General
Manager of Capital View Hotel, Nana Antobre said
the introduction of the 112-room facility was a
purpose built one to meet a variety of needs.

From an existing nine-bedroom Starland Hotel,
Capital View Hotel’s proprietor, Mr.
Kingsley Dwumor expanded it to build (the now)
Capital View Hotel Annex, and then faced with
increasing demand, the current 122-bedroom
facility spotting banquet halls, 500-seater
conference rooms, luxurious bedrooms and spacious
parking lots was planned and built to service
corporate and other needs.

The proximity of the Koforidua Municipality to
Accra, coupled with the breathtaking drive through
the Aburi and Larteh mountains provide ready
motivations for settling on Koforidua for
conferences or rest. And there are those who see
the new developments as a promising renaissance of
a by-gone era when Koforidua boasted of its
quintessential ‘flowers’.
