Ledger Plaza Hotel Bissau
Hala Hotel & Aqua Park is a hotel and water park in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau.
The hotel opened in 1989, as the Bissau Sheraton Hotel. It left Sheraton in 1992 and was renamed the Hotel Hotti Bissau.[1] It closed in 1998, as a result of the Guinea-Bissau Civil War, during which the rebels used it as a headquarters.[2] As of 1998 it had 165 rooms and 15 suites.[3][4] It was acquired[5] by the Libyan African Investment Company (LAICO) in 2004 and reopened in 2005 as the Libya Hotel. It was later renamed the LAICO Bissau Hotel.[6] In 2015 it was renovated, and reopened in January 2016 within LAICO's business-class Ledger Plaza brand as the Ledger Plaza Hotel Bissau.[7] In 2021, the hotel was received by an investment agreement between LAICO Bissau and MTM Bissau and changed the brand to Hala Hotel & Aqua Park.[8]
