The Hotel

"You're welcome!!" Not only is it the common greeting routine in the north, it is a true reflection of the local hospitality when in Bauchi State, and when staying at the Protea Hotel Bauchi VIP Suites.

Bauchi, a northern state which used to be a sleeping hollow is rapidly becoming a booming little metropolis. A lot of development has been taking place in the past two years. Some of these include the construction of the Protea Hotel Bauchi VIP Suites, a first hotel of its kind in the state, the Yankari Nature reserve, another, which is soon to become Nigeria's premier nature reserve, and the Bauchi state Library to name a few.

The hotel is situated in the centre of the "Pearl of Tourism", which Bauchi is also commonly known as. The hotel is also an ideal base when visiting the Yankari Nature reserve. This modern luxurious 12 bedroom VIP Suite hotel is by far the finest accommodation in northern Nigeria.

The hotel is close to all government offices, and major business complexes in Bauchi. Some close attractions also include the beautiful Gubi Dam a mere 25km away, where lazy afternoons can be enjoyed. Bauchi is also home to natures own art with its well known photogenic pile of rocks which are balanced precariously on top of one another.

Other facilities at the hotel include a cozy 20 seater restaurant, a VIP club room, pool, and all over wireless internet connectivity. Whether its business or leisure in northern Nigeria, the Protea Hotel Bauchi VIP Suites is becoming every discerning travellers\\' premier destination.
