Best Hotels in
Accra

Accra is West Africa's most vibrant capital — a city where the Gold Coast's colonial legacy meets the Akan market culture, the Osu nightlife, and an arts scene that has made Ghana one of the most creatively exciting countries in Africa. The Year of Return initiative in 2019 and the beyond-the-return programme have made it the most culturally significant diaspora destination in the continent, with a hotel scene that has grown rapidly from the basic to the genuinely excellent, particularly in the Airport Residential and Cantonments neighbourhoods.
