Where visitors stay in Accra
Accra's hotels cluster in a band between the airport and the sea. Osu is the lively neighborhood of restaurants and bars along Oxford Street; Airport Residential and Cantonments are the quiet diplomatic districts with the international hotels; Labone and Ridge sit between the two with guesthouses and mid-range hotels; and Labadi, by the beach, has the resort hotels on the sand. Traffic, not distance, sets the travel time between them.

Questions before you book
Which neighborhood is best for a first visit?
Osu, for the restaurants and the ability to walk in the evening, or Airport Residential for a quieter, more comfortable base ten minutes from the flight.
Where should I stay for the Cape Coast trip?
Anywhere in Accra for a day trip, or one night in Cape Coast or Elmina itself, which lets you add the Kakum canopy walk in the morning.
How do I book a hotel from this page?
Each "See hotels" button opens Expedia's hotel search for that part of Accra, with live rates, photos, reviews and the cancellation terms. You book and pay there. All Travel Fun earns a commission on bookings made through those links; it does not change what you pay.
Can your agents book the hotel over the phone?
