Chief executive officer of Heliconia Park, Pasquale Fiore, has said the company decided to site the Heliconia Hotel and Golf Resort in Rivers State capital because the state has long been a hub of energy, commerce, and culture.
Fiore disclosed this while speaking at the official launch of the facility, which is located within INTELS camp, Aba Road in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
The CEO said: “This is not just another hotel. This is a destination and a home for excellence. Port Harcourt has long been a hub of energy, commerce, and culture, and by investing here we reaffirm our commitment to this city, its people, and its future.
“Heliconia Park was founded on the belief that true luxury is welcoming, personal, and tailored, and this resort embodies that very spirit.
”We started Heliconia Park in 2022 with the opening of its first hotel in Port Harcourt, followed by the Lagos Luxury Apartments & Suites in 2024, officially inaugurated in February 2025.
“The launch marks a significant milestone in the brand’s growth journey in Nigeria, each chapter reflecting a vision of fine hospitality rooted in excellence, inspired by culture, and crafted with timeless standards of service.”
In his speech, director of Heliconia Hotel and Golf Resort, Mike Epelle, described the arrival of the hotel as a welcome addition to Port Harcourt, pointing out that it reflects the city’s growing appeal as both a business and leisure hub.

”The launch of the Port Harcourt Hotel and Golf Resort underscores Heliconia Park’s philosophy of ‘Approachable Luxury,’ where prestige meets comfort and every guest feels both valued and at home.
