Number One Oxford Street Hotel & Suites

Number One Oxford Street Hotel & Suites puts guests right on Oxford Street, Osu's main commercial strip and one of the best-known streets in Accra. The property was launched in 2022 as Radisson Hotel Group's first hotel in Ghana, joining its Radisson Individuals collection of independent hotels, and it was developed in partnership with a company in the Ghanaian Kwarleyz Group. Its 108 residential-style units make it a good option for both short stays and longer visits.

Facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and a spa, along with a terrace for midday drinks and light meals. Restaurant Uno serves a contemporary à la carte menu with a selection of wines. The penthouse suite and the hotel's modern interiors have been highlighted in travel coverage, and the apartment-style layout of many units gives more space than a standard hotel room.

The location is the main appeal. Guests can walk to Osu's restaurants, cafés and bars, including Buka, Pomona, Kukun and Jamestown Coffee Company, and the Koala Shopping Centre is about 200 metres away for groceries and supplies. The hotel suits business travellers who want to be near the ministries and financial district, couples who enjoy nightlife, and visitors on longer stays who appreciate the extra space.

Kotoka International Airport is about four kilometres away, although traffic on the main roads can make the journey slower at peak times. Black Star Square and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park are a short drive south-west. Rates are in the upper-middle range for Accra. Book directly or through the Radisson website, and check whether breakfast is included.

Staying on Oxford Street means you can step out for coffee, dinner or a drink without arranging transport, which is a real advantage in Accra. Longer-stay guests can also make use of the apartment-style space to settle in properly, rather than living out of a suitcase.

Oxford Street is lively, especially in the evening and at weekends, so ask for a room away from the street if you are a light sleeper. Taxis and ride-hailing cars are easy to find outside, and the walkable neighbourhood means you can explore much of Osu without transport.
