Novotel and Paris Saint-Germain Launch Bonaventure Kalou’s Legendary Room in Abidjan
Novotel, in partnership with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), has unveiled the Legendary Room celebrating Bonaventure Kalou at Novotel Abidjan Marcory, Côte d’Ivoire. Part of the global Novotel Legendary Rooms initiative, this immersive hospitality concept pays tribute to one of PSG’s most iconic figures. The experience blends sport, storytelling, and design in an exclusive guest offering that connects travelers with football heritage.
In a unique collaboration that bridges luxury hospitality with football legacy, Novotel and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have debuted the Legendary Room dedicated to Bonaventure Kalou at Novotel Abidjan Marcory. This innovative guest experience is the latest installment in the Novotel Legendary Rooms initiative, designed to bring fans closer to the greats of the game through immersive, design-driven spaces that celebrate their lives and careers.
The room honours Bonaventure Kalou, an Ivorian international and key figure in PSG’s mid-2000s squad, whose legacy includes winning the 2006 French Cup and leaving a lasting impact on fans in Côte d’Ivoire and beyond. His career with PSG, highlighted by 18 goals and 14 assists in 72 matches, now takes center stage in a specially designed space that combines exclusive memorabilia, interactive digital content, and locally inspired décor.
Guests staying in the Legendary Room receive a fully curated experience from check-in, including access to digital content such as exclusive interviews, career highlights, and behind-the-scenes stories from Kalou’s time with PSG. Younger fans can engage with interactive content, while others can explore Kalou’s personal recommendations across Abidjan, providing a personalized, culturally rich journey through the city.
Inside the room, every detail reflects Kalou’s journey — from visuals of iconic moments on the pitch to subtle touches that reference his Ivorian roots and football milestones. Designed to offer comfort with meaning, the room also includes Novotel’s signature amenities, offering a premium stay experience with emotional resonance.
Paul Stevens, Chief Operating Officer, Middle East, Africa, and Türkiye at Accor, emphasized the significance of the project in inspiring future generations and reinforcing Novotel’s commitment to connecting hospitality with local pride. Nadia Benmokhtar, PSG’s Diversification and Merchandising Director, described the initiative as a tribute that transcends borders, blending sport and cultural storytelling.
The room is now available for booking exclusively on ALL.com, Accor’s booking and loyalty platform, allowing members and fans to engage with football in a new and meaningful way. It’s a celebration not only of a sporting icon but also of Côte d’Ivoire’s enduring love for football and the shared values of excellence and inspiration that define both Novotel and Paris Saint-Germain.
