The Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra is a classic business and leisure hotel in the centre of the city. It sits on Independence Avenue in the Ridge district, a 4-minute walk from the National Theatre and a 2-minute drive from Independence Square. It is listed as a luxury five-star property with a guest rating of 8.8 out of 10 from more than 600 reviews. The outdoor pool has loungers, umbrellas and a lifeguard, the spa offers hot stone and Thai massages, and there is a 24-hour gym with a sauna and a steam room. Dining includes The Phoenix Restaurant with pool views, The Deli, a lobby lounge, a bar and the Pool Bar and BBQ. The big draw is location: the key central sights are a short walk or drive away.
Location and getting around: the hotel is on Independence Avenue, with the National Theatre a 4-minute walk away and the Accra International Conference Centre a 2-minute drive. Independence Square is about a 2-minute drive, the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park around an 18-minute walk and Makola Market about 17 minutes on foot, although the heat makes a short taxi more comfortable. Kotoka International Airport is roughly 21 minutes by car, and the hotel provides a free round-trip shuttle at scheduled times or on request.
The rooms: rooms range from Superior and Executive rooms with king or twin beds to Deluxe and Executive Suites with pool views, plus a very large Presidential Suite. They are comfortable, business-friendly and well equipped, with free fast Wi-Fi. If noise matters, ask for a room away from the street side or facing the pool.
Who it suits: first-time visitors who want to be close to the central sights, business travellers, and couples or families who like a pool and a range of restaurants on site. It is also a convenient place to base a series of day trips, since tours often pick up from central hotels.
Good to know: the daily buffet breakfast, served from 6:30am to 10:30am, is charged separately at around 30 US dollars for adults and 20 dollars for children, so compare rates with and without it. Pool hours are roughly 6:30am to 7pm. Parking is free on site. Pets are not allowed, apart from service animals.
