3 Best Hotels in Ghana

Get a taste of serene, everyday Takoradi life in the residential area of Beach Road, just a short drive from the beach and commercial areas. Lush greenery landscapes the grounds of the restored colonial-era home, and inside you'll find modern facilities. The simple style is tasteful and inviting. If you like this type of setting but wish it were at the beach, ask about the inn’s other property, the Casablanca Beach Resort, in the Funko suburb about 20 minutes from the city center.

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. African art is a pleasant reminder of the lively outside world, and lush tropical greenery lines stone paths. The two apartments include an open-plan kitchen and separate bedroom. The pool is small, but large enough for a dip, and a pleasant spot for a lounge chair cocktail. The classy European feel extends to the Italian restaurant, open for dinner.

Rooms are clean, design is understated, and the hotel is centrally located—a trio of plus points that makes this a great base for travelers who plan to be out and about most of the time. Let the staff help you organize a tour, and when the day’s excursions are done, retreat to a cozy bed in an uncluttered space with plenty of room to move around. The lodge is just a 5-minute drive from the Takoradi Airport and the harbor.
