Boma Lifestyle Hotel - This little jewel property is a new one to Dakar but has made quite a great impression. The architecture, interior design, and restaurant meet exceed all expectations and has free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a bar.
Hotel Djollof - This hotel offers one of the best boutique experiences in the city in my opinion. It is so beautifully designed with a terrace restaurant. The location is very central and they have an incredibly friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
Seku Bi - This is an intimate boutique hotel located on the Petite Corniche in Dakar. Although hidden away a few steps from Independence Square and the city center, the hotel is a haven of peace isolated from the hustle and bustle of city life. There are only 7 rooms on the property, and display a fine selection of contemporary African art.
Yaas Hotel - This one is a bit more on the “business” side, but is still quite nice. The rooms are a bit small but it is very well run and is located on a very well known street in Almadies that makes it very easy to navigate to/from. Perfect for solo travelers that are in transit.
