Novotel Grand Hotel de L'Independance

The Novotel Grand Hotel de L'Independance (or Novotel Ghi), formerly the Hotel de France, is a hotel in downtown Conakry, Guinea, operated by Novotel. The hotel was first opened in 1954 as the Hotel de France, with a modernistic design for the time. It was renamed the Grand Hotel de L'Independance when Guinea gained independence in 1958. The hotel was extensively renovated in 1996, reopening under the Novotel name.
