Best Hotels in Dakar (2026)

Where you stay in Dakar shapes your trip, because traffic makes crossing the city slow. The Plateau is the most practical base for sightseeing: the Pullman Dakar Teranga on Place de l'Indépendance and the seven-room Seku Bi boutique hotel are within walking distance of museums and restaurants, and Hôtel Le Lagon 2 on the Corniche Est is close to the ferry for Gorée.

The Corniche Ouest, between the Plateau and the western suburbs, has the big seafront hotels. Terrou-Bi is a family-owned resort with a private beach, a long pool, a casino and several restaurants, while the Noom Hotel Dakar Sea Plaza, formerly the Radisson Blu, has an infinity pool and connects to a shopping mall. In Les Almadies, King Fahd Palace offers a resort setting with a golf course and conference centre, close to the beaches and surf of Ngor.

Book early around major events such as the Dakar Biennale. Blaise Diagne International Airport is well outside the city, so arrange a transfer in advance, especially for late arrivals. Ask for a sea-view room where available, as many seafront hotels offer ocean outlooks.
