Cultural and festive events have followed one another in rapid succession since the reopening of the establishment.

Usually deserted as soon as the offices close, the business district now sees the whole of Abidjan converge for a day or two. <strong>afterwork<\/strong>a stand-up by <strong>Gondwana Club<\/strong>or a Sunday brunch. And this is exactly what the management of Pullman Abidjan was looking for, as it aims to embody a form of hospitality in the broadest possible sense.
