The Best Western Premier Accra Airport Hotel stands in the Cantonments district, a leafy, quiet part of the capital close to the airport and many embassies. The Premier label marks the upper end of its chain, and the hotel aims at business travellers and leisure guests who want a polished, comfortable stay with full services. It suits those who value an easy airport run but still want a pleasant evening, with a restaurant, bar and pool in the grounds. For visitors who plan to move on quickly to day trips or flights, it is a convenient and well-equipped base.
Location
Cantonments is one of Accra's residential and diplomatic districts, with tree-lined streets, restaurants and shops. Osu and its restaurants are a short drive away, and the central sights are about twenty to forty minutes by road, depending on traffic. The airport is close, making the hotel a sound choice for late arrivals or early flights. Because you will use taxis to move around, ask the front desk about trusted drivers.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms are generally spacious, with air conditioning, desks, television and good bathrooms, and suites provide extra space. The hotel typically offers a restaurant, a lounge or bar, a pool, a gym and meeting rooms for corporate events. Check whether a spa or airport shuttle is available during your stay.
Dining and evenings
In-house dining is convenient after a long journey, and the surrounding area has cafes and restaurants serving Ghanaian, Lebanese, Indian and international food. For a local meal, ask staff to recommend a good chop bar nearby, where you can try dishes such as red-red, kelewele and grilled tilapia.
Who it suits
Business guests, couples seeking a calm upscale base and travellers who prefer the quiet of Cantonments to the bustle of the centre. It is less convenient for walking to sights, so plan transport. Families can ask about larger rooms. Because it is an upscale property, rates often rise during events and in December, so book early if you are visiting in the festive season. 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.
