Tips Before You Book

• Choose your base & region wisely: In Ghana, most high-quality hotel infrastructure is in Accra (capital). If you plan to explore outside (smaller towns/coast), check what local hotel supply is like.
• Location & access: For city stays pick central neighbourhoods (Cantonments, Ridge, Airport area). For beach or resort stays pick a property close to the coast and transport.
• Payments & amenities: The luxury hotels listed will accept international cards and provide full amenities; for smaller value hotels check what is included (breakfast, WiFi, pick-up) and what your expectations should be.
• Value & timing: Rates vary by season and demand. Booking ahead for premium hotels is advisable and checking for deals in the mid-range or value segments can pay off.
