Why we recommend it
The Pullman Dakar Teranga is a large international hotel in the Plateau, on Rue Colbert just off Place de l'Indépendance, the main square of the business district. Part of the Accor group, it is a natural choice for business travellers and for visitors who want to be within walking distance of the city centre's banks, ministries, museums and restaurants.
Rooms are offered with city or sea views in superior, deluxe, junior suite and presidential suite categories. The business travel magazine Voyages d'Affaires described the hotel as fully renovated, with 247 rooms and suites, most looking out to the ocean or towards Gorée Island. Ask for a sea-view room if you can, as the outlook towards Gorée is part of the pleasure of staying here.
The Teranga Beach Club has a bar and a heated swimming pool; Accor lists two pools and two fitness centres in total. The Pullman Spa offers a traditional Moroccan hammam and treatments in partnership with the Paris brand Kos. The Teranga Lounge Restaurant and Bar has an arty, contemporary style, serving lunch and brunch buffets as well as an evening menu. Le Petit Journal's Dakar edition notes that the hotel regularly hosts cultural and artistic events, and that its pool has been popular with residents on day passes. Voyages d'Affaires also mentioned seminar rooms and a terrace with panoramic views, so the hotel is well set up for meetings and receptions.
The location is the main advantage. Place de l'Indépendance is on the doorstep, and the Musée Théodore Monod d'Art Africain on Place Soweto, the Institut Français with its garden café Le Bideew, Chez Loutcha and La Fourchette are all close by. The port, where ferries leave for Gorée, and the Musée des Civilisations Noires are a short taxi ride away. The Corniche Est and Le Lagon 1 are also nearby for a seafood dinner.
The hotel suits business travellers, first-time visitors who want to explore the Plateau on foot and anyone planning a day trip to Gorée. Book through Accor's website, where current rates, room types and member offers are listed. For trips beyond walking distance, remember that Dakar's taxis are generally unmetered, so agree the fare before setting off.
