3 Best Hotels in Ghana

Opened in 2014, these modern accommodations are in a convenient spot, within walking distance of the beach, close to a casino, golf course, and shopping center, and a short drive to the Takoradi Airport. The surrounding Beach Road neighborhood is in a safe, upscale area, and tourist attractions are a stroll away. The hotel is a mix of colorful cabanas with patios and slick mid-rise units. Earth tones soften orderly rooms equipped with lots of amenities, including iPod docking stations and microwave ovens.

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. International food? Check—and at five different venues to eat and drink. Room interiors are minimal and fresh, lending an urban feel. A golf course, an arts center, and shopping opportunities are not far away.

No such thing as cookie-cutter accommodations here—every room is different, and each one more interesting than the next. The regal cocoa room has fringed satin pillows and a velvet Queen Anne-style chair; a curved, black settee embellishes the city room; geometric shapes and photos of African culture appoint what feels like the business suite. 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.
