Montana Residence

Montana Residence is a hotel on Oduduwa Way in Ikeja GRA, a residential district in Lagos known for its embassies and quiet streets. The building rises above its neighbours with a rooftop pool at the top, open to the sky and looking out over the district's low roofline. Five room categories run from the Classic Room, with a queen bed and en-suite bathroom, up to the Junior Suite and the One Bedroom Apartment, both with a separate living room. Every room carries a 50-inch television, satellite channels, air conditioning and a coffee maker. A gym sits alongside the pool for guests working around a schedule. You can order from the kitchen at any hour, a detail that matters in a city that rarely sleeps early. The hotel also runs its own car service, with trained drivers on call for airport pickups, meetings or a run into central Lagos; bookings are confirmed by an emailed invoice. Reception operates around the clock, and Wi-Fi is complimentary throughout. The brand takes its name from the Spanish word for mountain, though nothing here is alpine; in Yoruba the word also reads as a phrase for lighting a fire, which the hotel uses as its logo. It is a compact, city-facing stay built for business travellers and short breaks around Ikeja rather than a base for touring Lagos at large.
