Budget & Tips
Inland, the cheapest hotels offer basic comfort, with bedding, ventilation, toilet and shower, for as little as 7,000 FCFA.
Medium-category hotels add space, air conditioning and television, sometimes telephone, and a minimum of research into furnishings and decoration. The average night costs 15,000 to 30,000 FCFA or more, depending on whether you're in Abidjan or the provinces.
Finally, there are the luxury hotels, found mainly in Abidjan and Assinie, and to a lesser extent in San Pedro and Yamoussoukro. In Abidjan, they are divided between the business hotels of the Accor group, those of the pan-African hotel groups Onomo and Azalaï and the American chain Radisson Blu, independents such as the Tiama or the Wafou, and the hotels of the Société des palaces de Cocody.
To be booked
We recommend booking at weekends and during school vacations in Grand-Bassam and Assinie, and during major festivals and conventions in Abidjan. Outside these periods, hotel occupancy rates are not saturated.
For food lovers
Breakfast in an Ivorian hotel will be fairly Westernized, with sweet and savory buffets, as tourists and business travelers are used to. More local millet porridge is also available.
