Our story
A dream built on heritage,crafted with purpose.
About a decade ago, a vision was conceived not just to build a hotel, but to establish a destination of distinction. Cathelea Convention & Suites represents enduring family ties—its name derived from the initials of a closely knit family unit.
In the heart of Benin City’s GRA, eight minutes from the airport, Cathelea blends African sensibility with international sophistication.
