La Villa Boutique

$$ | 13th Lane, Accra, Ghana

Escape the city at this quiet and stylish retreat, close to the Osu center, where huge beds, minimalist design, and muted tones calm the nerves.

Movenpick Ambassador Hotel

Live large amid considerable luxury (with a big price)—the nine stories here offer amenities on top of amenities. Fancy lobby? Check. Giant crystal blue pool set among swaying palms? Check.

A golf course, an arts center, and shopping opportunities are not far away.

  • On-site spa

Cons

  • Average food
  • Extra bed fee for kids older than age 4
  • No pets

Villa Monticello

$$$ | No 1A Mankata Av. Link, Accra, Ghana

All are spacious, comfortable and just a 10-minute drive to the city and a little over 2 km (1 mile) away from the airport.
