Business Travel Made Easy: the Benefits of All-inclusive Accommodation

Anyone travelling for business knows the value of convenience and reliability wrapped into all-inclusive accommodation. But when the destination is a high-risk or logistically challenging location, these qualities become non-negotiable.

For business travellers visiting Mogadishu, juggling accommodation, transport, meals, medical support, evacuation plans and security through different providers adds unnecessary risk, complexity and time. As part of the Chelsea Group – a renowned family of companies delivering turnkey solutions tailored to complex operational needs – Chelsea Village Hotel is ideally situated to go beyond the standard all-inclusive offering.

That’s why Chelsea Village Hotel is the accommodation of choice in Mogadishu. We take care of all the details and more, so guests can enjoy a safe, efficient and fully serviced base that allows them to focus on their mission, not the logistics.  

How Chelsea Village Hotel simplifies business travel in Somalia

Somalia ranks 153 out of 163 countries in the Global Peace Index, placing it among the ten least peaceful nations in the world. In this context, security is our number one priority. However, that doesn’t mean travellers need to sacrifice the luxuries of modern accommodation when they come to Chelsea Village Hotel. 

Strategically located within the Aden Abdulle International Airport Zone in Mogadishu, our all-inclusive package offers complete support for high-impact, short-term work in Somalia.
