During
the 2011 conflict, soldiers loyal to ex-leader Laurent Gbagbo stormed the Novotel, terror-
ising journalists sheltering inside. Don't let that dissuade you from staying here; there's a
reason the Novotel was their place of choice, including smart rooms, four-star amenities
and a large outdoor pool, all in the heart of Le Plateau. And great security.
