The Best Western Plus Accra Beach Hotel is one of the few places in the capital that puts the Atlantic at your doorstep. As the name suggests, it is a beach-focused property, and it appeals to travellers who want some sea air alongside their culture and sightseeing. A mid-range international brand, it offers the comforts of a modern hotel with a relaxed coastal feel. It works especially well for families and couples who plan to mix heritage days with downtime by the water, and it is a handy alternative to the central business hotels if you prefer a resort atmosphere to a downtown one.
Location
The hotel lies along the coast, so the beach, sunsets and sea breezes are part of the experience. From here, the drive to the central sights takes a little longer than from a downtown hotel, so plan on using ride-hail taxis or a hired driver, and give yourself extra time in the morning rush. The coastline nearby has several beach clubs and restaurants, and Labadi Beach is not far away. Check the swimming conditions with staff, since the Atlantic currents here can be strong.
Rooms and facilities
Expect air-conditioned rooms, many with sea or pool views, plus a restaurant, a bar and an outdoor pool. A resort feel often means sun loungers, a terrace and a garden. Larger rooms or suites suit families, and some properties offer connecting rooms. Confirm availability of the pool, spa or gym for your dates.
Dining
Restaurants on site usually serve a mix of Ghanaian and international dishes, with seafood prominent. Eating by the sea at sunset is one of the pleasures of a beach hotel. Outside the hotel, grilled fish and banku stalls and beach bars offer simple local meals.
Who it suits
Families, couples and anyone seeking rest after a day on the road. It is a good base after the castles and Kakum, when a swim and a quiet evening are welcome. If you need to be near the airport early, check the transfer time, because traffic can be heavy on the coastal road. Check-in and check-out times, breakfast inclusion, parking and shuttle arrangements differ between rates and can change, so confirm them when you book.
Ride-hail taxis are the easiest way to reach the independence sights, Jamestown and the markets from any hotel in Accra, and traffic is heavy at rush hour, so allow extra time for early tours and airport transfers. If you plan the Cape Coast and Kakum day trip, ask the front desk to arrange an early start and a packed breakfast.
