Where you stay in Accra shapes your trip, because traffic can make short distances slow. Osu puts you in the middle of the restaurant and nightlife scene: Number One Oxford Street Hotel & Suites is right on the main strip. Ridge and the Ministries area are central for sightseeing, with the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City and the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel both close to the National Theatre, Black Star Square and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park.
Airport City and the Airport Residential Area suit business travellers and short stays. The Accra Marriott Hotel and Holiday Inn Accra Airport are minutes from the terminals, and Villa Monticello offers sixteen individually designed suites in a quiet, leafy street nearby. For a resort feel, Labadi Beach Hotel in La has gardens, pools and a spa beside the ocean, and budget travellers who want sand and surf can head west to Big Milly's Backyard in Kokrobite.
Book early for December, when Accra is busiest with returning visitors and events. Check what is included in the rate, such as breakfast and airport transfers, and confirm parking if you plan to hire a driver for day trips.
