African Regent Hotel

It’s telling that the lobby at the African Regent has become a frequented spot for informal meetings. Its popularity is partly down to the hotel’s location – the international airport is just minutes away by car – and partly down to its laid-back, upmarket ambience. Public spaces are stylish and manage to successfully fuse West African motifs with modern touches. There are some quality dining options too, with the Mukyia Restaurant offering a range of African and international dishes. Standard rooms are pretty basic – don’t expect too many frills when it comes to the bathrooms. There’s a business centre with internet terminals and paid-for wireless in the rooms. A regular events schedule keeps things lively, and the modest but pleasant pool area sees all ages having fun in the sunshine. The service is more accomplished than most in Accra.
