The hotel group, which develops and manages African hospitality brands, both upscale and economy, announced plans for Yaas in 2014. Mangalis’ first flagship, Noom Hotel Conakry in Guinea, opened in September 2016, and its mid-scale Seen Abidjan hotel is expected to open in early 2017. 

The first of its kind hotel in Senegal to use the modular construction, the 89-room Yaas Almadies utilizes bright colors and minimalist furniture as part of its design.  

IPads are the main focus of the hotel’s lobby area, where guests can sit and communally check emails and surf the web. The lobby area also offers guests a selection of freshly roasted coffee and natural juices.

The Smart Snacking Corner offers breakfast; in addition, guests can use the Yaas Grab & Go fridge for gourmet snacks and beverages. The hotel also offers a daily menu inspired by African flavors of the city.
