Sobre esta Trap
Meeting-venue and booking listings still show the Kwara Hotel on Ahmadu Bello Way in GRA as a 172-room property opened in 1975. The state government has been carrying out a major upgrade of it, with completion once expected in 2025. A September 2026 press commentary speaks of the renovation as finished but gives no reopening date. Phone the hotel to confirm it is taking guests, which facilities work and what the room count is now before you rely on a listing.
