Why we recommend it
The Accra Marriott Hotel is the most convenient upscale hotel for the airport. It stands on Liberation Road in Airport City, Accra's modern business district, less than a kilometre from Kotoka International Airport, and next to the Marina Mall shopping centre. That location makes it a natural choice for business travellers, transit passengers and anyone arriving late or leaving early.
The hotel has three places to eat and drink. Red Red Restaurant, named after a popular Ghanaian dish of beans and fried plantain, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with buffet and à la carte options. Sanbra Bar offers drinks and light bites, and Fammy's is a poolside eatery and bar beside the outdoor pool. A complimentary fitness centre is available to guests.
The Marriott suits business travellers, people on short stopovers and families who want an easy first or last night in the city. It is less suited to visitors who want to walk to historic sights, which are a drive away in central Accra and Jamestown, but the Airport Residential Area's restaurants, including Santoku and Azmera, are close by, and Café Kwae is a short walk away at One Airport Square.
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is at 12:00, and the minimum check-in age is 18. A complimentary airport shuttle runs to a published schedule; ask at reception or call the hotel to arrange it. On-site parking is free. Rates are in the upper-middle range for Accra.
For travellers on tight schedules, staying here removes most of the stress of reaching the airport through Accra's traffic, which can be unpredictable at rush hour. It also makes a sensible base for day trips that leave from the airport side of the city, such as the drive north to Aburi Botanical Gardens or east to Shai Hills, as you avoid crossing the congested centre. Business travellers will find the offices of Airport City within a short drive, and the hotel's restaurants and bar make it easy to host informal meetings on site.
Marina Mall is about 100 metres away, handy for shopping on arrival. Taxis and ride-hailing cars reach Osu and East Legon easily, though journey times depend heavily on traffic.
