This is the best hotel in Dakar. It's an absolute gem. I just got back from Dakar and I will always stay here if I'm in town. The hotel is very modern and elegant. The pool is absolutely breathtaking! It's an infinity pool that looks out over a panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean - absolutely stunning. Rooms are modern and the hotel is very quiet, I slept like a baby every night. The restaurants are superb. There's a big mall next door with everything you could want (including a Casino supermarket) in case you forgot something or just want to shop (it's got a bunch of cool clothes stores in it, I bought pants, shirts and shoes and quite reasonable prices). The hotel is full of really cool art. In the evenings they have a great jazz band that plays in the pool area, which is always a fun social scene (you may see very famous people hanging out there too - I did!)

Definitely recommended!
