After two and a half decades of delivering excellent hospitality products and services to both local and international tourists, the Royal Basin Resort – a three-star hotel located opposite St. Louis Secondary School off the Accra-Kumasi highway – marks its 25th anniversary.
Over the 25-year period, the facility which was officially opened to the public by Nana Mamponghene Prof. Gyima Kesse, on 7th March 1997, has transformed from a 12-room unit to 22 rooms.
The strategically-located serene resort offers a variety of services, including executive class guest accommodation.
To ensure a memorable Silver Jubilee, the Royal Basin Resort has scheduled a series of events throughout the year, and key among these activities are: a general clean-up campaign by all staff in the locality of the facility; donations to some selected children’s homes; sponsoring an award for best hospitality graduating student in KNUST; and a staff/guests appreciation dinner.
The curtain will be drawn on celebrations with a thanksgiving service on 6th March, 2022 at the Royal Basin Hotel premises.
Managing Director of the resort, Essie Agyapong-Poku, indicated that guests who patronise the facility can expect to enjoy beautifully upgraded rooms and a more welcoming ambience.
“So much has changed since 1997, but one thing has remained the same: The Royal Basin Resort has kept client satisfaction at the core of its services. We are proud of the journey we have made in becoming an all-inclusive, internationally recognised three-star hotel,” stated the MD.
Furthermore, the managing director indicated that the important role played by the hospitality industry in the country’s economic development cannot be overemphasized; and as an organisation that has been a dominant player in this field, it will continue to develop new products and improve on its services to portray a good image of the industry as a whole.
To celebrate hard work and reward loyalty, management have indicated that some dedicated staff members who have been with the hotel since day-one will be rewarded with outstanding prizes – to be a testament of the opportunities provided by a workplace that enhances dedicated service.
