Fun-seekers on Lagos Mainland who before now had to make the trip to the Island part of the aquatic city all in the quest to satisfy their taste for excitement may not need to do that anymore.
This is because the brain behind the popular ‘All LASU Awards’, Mr Babatunde Olaogun, has teamed up with some of his business associates to throw open the doors of a new hospitality outfit on the mainland.
This new fun-place is called Royalty Lounge and Suite and it is situated in the heart of the Lagos capital, on Awolowo Way, Ikeja.
Mr Olaogun, speaking on behalf of his group of upward mobile young investors, explained that the need to have a bar, lounge and suite that will match up to what is obtainable on Victoria Island, Ikoyi and Lekki are what prompted his decision to open the hospitality outfit.
He said, “Our major goal and objective is to bring the Island kind of lifestyle to the Mainland. You know, lot of people go to the hottest bar and nightclub on the Island to unwind.
“The idea is to incorporate the same thing here on the Mainland in a more unique way. In short, instead of going to the Island, you can easily come to Royalty Lounge and have the feel of both worlds.”
On his experience and style, Mr Olaogun noted that, “The experience and idea came from different places of recreation we’ve visited over the years.
“I have experienced how hospitality business is being run both on the Island and Mainland. We have the idea of what people normally look for when patronising a place like this, so it makes thing easy for us to gather all the knowledge we’ve acquired over the years and put it into use here.”
Mr Olaogun, a graduate of Microbiology from the prestigious Lagos State University (LASU) and an associate member of Nigeria Institute of Management (NIM), insists that the hospitality outfit depicts everything its name stands for, hence, it is not your regular fun spot but a uniquely created haven for recreation and relaxation.
“Our major selling point is that Royalty Lounge and Suites is not just your average hospitality avenue. It is a one stop shop for everything you’re looking for when it comes to entertainment and also fashion.
“At Royalty Lounge, we’re providing what people normally yearn for. It’s like a home away from home. There’s a beauty shop that deals with Manicure and Pedicure, Hair treatment shop, Make Over and Gele tying studio is also in another corner.
All these departments are being overseen by professionals in those fields. That will make Royalty Lounge stand out from other competitors on the Mainland in general and not only in Ikeja. A lounge, suite, beauty parlour all envelope into one to the pleasure of our esteem customers,” he enthused.
