About Us

Cosyrest Restaurant

Cosyrest Hotel was created with one goal in mind — to offer a calm, refreshing escape right in the heart of Abuja. While the city is known for its warm climate, averaging 26°C (78.9°F), we designed our environment to feel different.
Through a deliberate floral and green-focused policy, our spaces stay naturally cooler by up to 4 degrees, giving guests a soothing atmosphere from the moment they arrive. This unique touch sets Cosyrest apart, creating a peaceful setting ideal for conferences, seminars, dining, meetings, relaxation, and comfortable accommodation.
Everything we do is centered around comfort, simplicity, and genuine hospitality. Whether you’re here for business or leisure, Cosyrest is where you’ll always feel refreshed, rested, and truly at home.
