“Our Pop-up Artisan Market will be the event to usher in the festive season. With a wide array of authentic pieces, it is the perfect time to get the right gift for that special someone while socialising with friends and those with similar artistic interests. We also want to create a fun and interactive shopping experience by opening our cafè to shoppers to enable them to dine or dance while listening to live performances,” says Rima Fakhry, Director of Customer Experience at Roots Hospitality International, the parent company for Roots Hotel Apartment Accra, Roots Hotel Apartment Abidjan, Urbano Hotel, and Zaytoun Artisan Cafe.

“By organising the Pop-up Artisan Market, we are creating a platform to connect local artists to our hotel guests and local consumers, support small-scale businesses and share our passions with participants to shop local and unique,”  adds Fakhry.

The Zaytoun Pop-up Artisan Market is a part of  Roots Hospitality International’s cultural events inspired by the Ghana Tourism Authority’s Year Of Return.
