Built in the early 1990s, Hotel Palm Beach is a landmark tower on the main seafront road in downtown Lomé, a gathering place for business and leisure close to the market, shopping, convention centre and the border with Ghana. It is so central that it has even served as the reference point for measuring distances from the city.

Setting and arrival
Arriving by road from Ghana, the hotel’s height made it impossible to miss.
The rooms
My Deluxe Room had a great view of the city and sea, with two single beds, a small seating area, a desk and coffee station in a smart, minimalist style. The marble bathroom has a shower and bath, and the free high-speed internet was very welcome.
Dining and drinks
Restaurant Le Baron, on the first floor, combines international cuisine with local flavours. L’Océan serves the pool terrace overlooking the Atlantic, with fresh juices by day, and Valentino’s Bar in the lobby hosts meetings and occasional live music.
Facilities
The open-air pool on the second floor is a real highlight. There is also a gym with optional coaching and an adjoining casino.
The verdict
Stunning views, a central location and a safe, professional operation make Palm Beach a dependable choice in Lomé.
