The Aknac Hotel, Accra

Boutique hotel tucked away from Accra's urban bustle

Suburban escape

The Aknac Hotel brings boutique sensibilities to affluent Trasacco Valley, providing a haven away from the bustle of central Accra. Things are quieter in this suburban location, but you can be at Kotoka International Airport in 20 minutes and the city center in 40 minutes by car.

Bright lights big beaches

A 40-minute drive will take you to the lively center of Accra, where you can explore the National Museum, admire the sculptures in Kwame Nkrumah Park, or take in the views from the Jamestown Lighthouse. Labadi Beach, where Accra comes to relax, is about 5 km from the hotel.

Drinks by the pool

Being out of the center has its advantages - for one, less noise to disturb you when you relax by the pool or work out in the gym. Meals are served in a stylish dining room or alfresco in the courtyard, and there are 2 bars where you can unwind with a nightcap.

Balconies, free WiFi

The black-and-white theme from the lobby extends to the 52 air-conditioned rooms, all with balconies, flat-screen TVs, and free WiFi. Comfortable mattresses are topped with crisp white linens, and mini-fridges are handy for storing late-night snacks.
