PSA: Here’s a short look at what shaped 16/16 in 2025 and what we learned from it.
From here on:
@16by16 focuses on the hotel and experiences.
@friends_of_16 focuses on community, events and programming.
Same space. Clearer focus.
A quiet day at 16/16.
Urban practitioner and creative producer Mariko Sugita ( @mariko_urbannomad ) spends 3 weeks with us. This day, she spent the day as it came — reading, observing, resting.
It’s Friday!
We’re pouring a Second Steep - made from tea leaves steeped again, bringing out a softer, slower finish.
Ask for the Ecobar menu when you’re in.
It’s a quiet May, with two things we’re gathering for.
On 9th May, our friends @themixologylabs_ are partnering with @drinkdodo for a tasting in the house — a welcome cocktail, a guided tasting of plantain-flavored rum, and a hands-on cocktail-making session.
To book, visit friends.16by16.co
From 22nd to 24th May, we’ll be showing the work of @_l4j4_ and @osi.one at Latitudes ( @latitudes.online ) Art Fair’s Nigeria Focus. Come find us if you’re in the city!
Nothing wasted.
Spent coffee pods from our Nespresso machine are soaked in whiskey, drawing out deep roasted notes before being shaken into a whiskey sour.
Ask for the Ecobar selection next time you’re at the bar.
March marks the beginning of our programming year.
We start with a print studio workshop for @lagosgalleryweekend and then later in the month, @jaysrecordstash returns for a listening bar session specially curated for Women’s History Month.
If February was about feeling, March is for making.

Ask for our “Ecobar” selection the next time you’re at the bar.
Made by giving our kitchen’s ingredients a second life, these drinks use skins, rinds, peels, pulp and chaff to reveal delicate umami notes.
Take this Pineapple Rum, for example - infused with pineapple skins for five days, bringing notes of warm toast and caramel depth to pineapple’s natural sweetness.
Soft light, good linen, and nowhere to be. In a fast world, choose slow moments with us.
