A propriedade — maison chez moi
Maison Chez Moi is a compact three-star in the Cocody district, all cream walls and terracotta tiles, with a small plunge pool that promises escape from Abidjan's humidity. The lobby feels like a friend's well-kept living room, with rattan chairs and a receptionist who remembers your name. It suits a business traveller or a solo adventurer who wants reliable Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a central spot without the glossy price tag of the big chains.
Crónicas de Abidjan
Abidjan started as a colonial railway terminus in the early 20th century, a fishing village on the Ébrié Lagoon that grew fast after the French built the Vridi Canal in 1951, opening the port to deep-sea ships. Its skyline—a mix of 1960s brutalist blocks like the Hôtel Ivoire and glossy modern towers in Plateau—reflects a city rebuilt after the 2010-2011 political crisis. Today it's the region's economic engine, known for its ambitious architecture, sprawling Marcory market, and an arts scene that produced the fashion designer Loza Maléombho. Locals call it 'Abidjan la Belle', but the city also owns its gritty edge, with a music culture spinning coupé-décalé and zoblazo.
