Why we recommend it
The Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra stands on Independence Avenue in the Ridge district, right next to the National Theatre, which makes it one of the most centrally placed upscale hotels in the city. From here, the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, the National Museum and Makola Market are all a short drive away, and Osu's restaurants and bars are within easy reach.
The hotel's best-loved feature is its outdoor, lagoon-style swimming pool, set among landscaped gardens and suitable for children, which gives guests a green, relaxing space in the middle of the city. There is a 24-hour gym, and Marn-Dah Thai Massage on the mezzanine floor offers treatments. Breakfast is served at the Sankofa Restaurant, the Deli serves light snacks and sandwiches, and further restaurant outlets and a lounge bar cover local and international dishes through the day and evening.
The Mövenpick suits business travellers, families who want a good pool, and leisure visitors who want to stay close to the historic centre rather than near the airport.
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 12:00. Parking is free for all guests, which is useful if you are renting a car or hiring a driver. Kotoka International Airport is about seven kilometres away, so allow extra time for traffic at rush hour when heading for a flight. Rates are in the upper-middle range for Accra; book ahead during conferences and the busy December season.
The central position is a real advantage in a city where traffic can turn short distances into long journeys: from the Mövenpick you can reach the main historic sights quickly in the morning and still be back by the pool in the afternoon. Families in particular will appreciate the combination of a child-friendly pool and gardens with easy access to the National Museum and the memorial park, and the free parking makes it a practical base if you hire a driver for day trips to Aburi or Cape Coast.
The National Theatre next door hosts concerts, dance and drama, so check what is on during your stay. Black Star Square and the coast are close by, and taxis and ride-hailing cars can be ordered easily from the hotel entrance for trips to Osu, Labone or Jamestown.
