La propiedad — Continental Plaza
The Continental Plaza feels like a reliable mid-range business hotel that doesn't pretend to be anything else. The lobby is clean and tiled, with a small seating area and a front desk that moves you through check-in efficiently. It suits travellers who want a predictable, air-conditioned base near the airport and the Accra Mall, without fuss or frills.
Crónicas de Accra
Accra grew from a 17th-century Ga fishing village into the colonial capital of the British Gold Coast, anchored by three coastal forts. After independence in 1957, Kwame Nkrumah commissioned modernist buildings like the State House and the National Museum, which still define the city's skyline. Today, Accra is a sprawling, energetic hub where old colonial architecture sits alongside glass office towers and lively markets such as Makola. Its cultural identity is driven by a thriving music scene, contemporary art galleries, and a street-food culture that runs on jollof rice and grilled tilapia.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Accra →Los mejores meses
August and January: after the main rainy season, the city is green but drier, with fewer tourists and comfortable temperatures around 27-30°C.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is peak season for the Chale Wote Street Art Festival (usually late July/early August), which draws huge crowds for street parades and live art. Hotel prices can rise 20-30% during this period. December is also peak due to the 'Detty December' holiday season, when diaspora Ghanaians return for events like Afrochella (now AfroFuture).
La temporada del hombro
May and September offer lower room rates and lighter crowds. The weather is still warm, but you'll avoid the main holiday rushes.
Tiempo y embalaje
Accra's climate is consistently hot and humid, with a brief dry season in January. Pack only light, breathable cotton or linen; an umbrella or light rain jacket is essential even in July, as sudden downpours are common.

- The new Accra Sky Train project is under construction; expect occasional road diversions on the route between the airport and city centre.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Continental Plaza, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floor 4 or 5 facing away from the main road (likely Ring Road Central or a major arterial). These floors are high enough to reduce street noise but not so high that lift noise or rooftop equipment becomes an issue.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground or first floor: these catch street-level noise, dust, and foot traffic from the lobby or restaurant. Also skip rooms directly above the bar or lounge area if the hotel has one — often loud until late.
Best views
An upper-floor room (floor 5) facing the city skyline. At a 3-star hotel on a main Accra road, expect a view of rooftops and traffic — not scenic but gives a sense of the city's energy.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are the quietest: away from ground-level commotion and lift motor rooms, which are typically on the roof or ground floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Main road traffic is constant in Accra, especially during rush hours (7-9am, 4-7pm). Occasional horns from tro-tros and taxis. Also beware of mosque loudspeakers at dawn if the hotel is near a mosque.
Insider tips
1. Park in the gated lot if available — street parking is risky. 2. Check-in around 1pm to request a quiet room; mention you're a light sleeper for a back-facing room.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

💡 Go early, around 7am, when it’s cooler and less crowded. Keep valuables hidden and haggle politely—half the starting price is a fair target.
💡 Visit on a weekday morning when the square is mostly empty. The monument is unguarded, so just walk up—no ticket needed.
💡 Focus on the basement—it has the best displays on pre-colonial life. Plan for 45 minutes max; the air conditioning is a bonus.
💡 Arrive before noon to avoid the heat. Bring a hat and water, and skip the guided tour if you’re short on cash—the exhibits are self-explanatory.
💡 Avoid Sundays unless you want a packed crowd. Go on a weekday for a serene experience, and buy fresh coconut from the vendors for 2 GHS.
