Why we recommend it
The Noom Hotel Dakar Sea Plaza stands on the Corniche Ouest in the Fann district, between the Plateau and the western suburbs. Many visitors will know it by its former name, the Radisson Blu Dakar; it is now a member of Radisson Individuals, the group's collection of independently branded hotels, and its address and setting on the ocean are unchanged.
The hotel has 234 rooms and suites. Its biggest practical advantage is that it is connected to the Sea Plaza shopping mall, which makes it convenient for travellers who want to shop without leaving the building, and useful in the evenings or in the heat of the day.
Facilities centre on the infinity pool facing the sea, with its own Pool Bar, and a fitness and wellness centre. For dining, L'Avenue serves Mediterranean cooking with Senegalese influences, and Galuchat focuses on grilled dishes. The Onyx Bar is the place for a drink in the evening. A spa offering massages, treatments and hammam sessions, Buddhattitude, is listed a few hundred metres away. Le Petit Journal's Dakar edition has noted that the hotel's pool packages, offered under its former name, are popular with Dakar residents looking for somewhere to swim at weekends. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 12:00.
The hotel suits business travellers, families who want a pool and shopping on site, and anyone who likes the idea of staying on the seafront but within easy reach of the centre. The Corniche Ouest has a running and walking track along the sea, used by Dakarois in the cooler hours of the morning and evening, and the hotel is well placed for it.
The Plateau and Place de l'Indépendance are a short taxi ride east, and the port for Gorée is easy to reach. Heading west along the corniche, Terrou-Bi, the Soumbédioune craft market and the boats to the Îles de la Madeleine are close by, and the African Renaissance Monument, the Mosquée de la Divinité and the Phare des Mamelles are a little further on. Book through the Radisson website or contact the hotel directly by phone or email for group and event enquiries.
