Eko Hotels & Suites, Lagos

Where?

Ekos Hotels & Suites is based in Lagos, the largest city in Nigeria and the commercial hub of West Africa.

Lagos is one of the quickest growing cities in the world with an ever-expanding population. It is a vital economic centre in Africa, and it is home to one of the largest and most popular business ports in Africa.

Eko Hotels & Suites have over 800 bedrooms, eight bedrooms and seven bars. Their conferencing rooms and dining facilities have the capacity to seat 7,000 people. Ekos Hotels & Suites is celebrated for presenting most of the high-profile events in Nigeria and West Africa.

What?

From presentations to exhibitions and pleasure, right the way through to import Government functions, Eko Hotels & Suites welcomes millions of people into their hotel throughout the year.

One of the largest problems that they face is to ensure washrooms stay clean and hygienic for a large number of users, and because it is such a firmly established hotel, the expectation of hygienic facilities is high and the pressure to maintain good first impression is great.

Even with consistent cleaning, the washrooms become overwhelmed with unpleasant odours, due to the build-up of uric acid in the pipes and the drains. As a result of the high foot traffic that the washrooms endure, it has become harder to maintain a long-lasting, pleasant smell.

How?

A vast, active hotel like Eko needs a constant and automatic solution to keep the washrooms hygienic and smelling pleasant on a consistent cleaning schedule.

Eko Hotels & Suites chose Vectair Systems managed by Swissmarkk – a company in Lagos that is responsible for updating and refilling products at the end of every 30-60-day cycles. The number of staff at the Eko Hotels & Suites who have been designated to keep the washrooms hygienic and fresh was reduced by employing Swissmarkk as its service provider.
