The first Canopy by Hilton property in Seychelles has officially opened following a ceremony held yesterday evening. The new 120-room, four-star establishment marks a significant addition to the country’s hospitality landscape.
The ribbon cutting was led by President Wavel Ramkalawan, who highlighted the importance of continued investment and diversification within the tourism sector. The new hotel is expected to contribute to job creation, strengthen Seychelles’ accommodation offerings, and enhance the visitor experience with its modern facilities and locally inspired design.
The Canopy brand is known for emphasizing local culture within its guest experience. In Seychelles, this includes the use of island-inspired decor, Creole culinary influences, and community-focused tourism activities that invite visitors to discover the culture and natural surroundings of the islands.
The opening supports Seychelles’ broader goal of elevating quality standards while maintaining a commitment to sustainability and cultural identity within the tourism sector.
Salim C. Mathieu, Founder of Seychelles in Sweden, notes that the establishment of international hotel brands in Seychelles continues to strengthen the nation’s global presence and attract a diverse range of travelers seeking modern comfort combined with authentic island experiences.
