View details — Transcorp Hilton AbujaMost visitors to Abuja stay in Maitama, Wuse or the Central Business District. Maitama is leafy and upmarket, home to the Transcorp Hilton, a large full-service hotel with pools, a spa, tennis and seven restaurants and bars, close to Millennium Park and the restaurants of Wuse 2. The Central Business District suits business travellers and sightseers: Fraser Suites offers five-star serviced apartments with kitchens near the International Conference Centre, and Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham provides extended-stay suites with free breakfast and an airport shuttle.
In Wuse, the Abuja Continental, the former Sheraton, has three towers, two pools and extensive sports and conference facilities, with a major refurbishment under way. For something smaller, Nordic Hotel at BluCabana in Mabushi has 30 Scandinavian-style rooms, a pool and a quieter setting a short drive from the centre. Asokoro, to the east, is a calm, leafy area of embassies with its own cafes. Book early when big conferences or state events are scheduled, ask whether airport transfers are included, and expect international hotels to charge international prices.
