"Most luxury hotels in Dakar are located either downtown or on the beach. But a few good options are in Diamniadio, a smart city project near the airport, including the Radisson Hotel Dakar Diamniadio. The interiors are colorful and modern, with bold nature-themed murals and large-format photography by local artists brightening up the airy common spaces. Rooms are simple but sleek, with Art Deco-inspired flooring and light fixtures, and suites feature extras like private terraces, stylish living rooms, and striking onyx wall installations that seem to glow from within. Elevated Senegalese dishes and drinks are served at the contemporary restaurant and bar on the ground level, and large glass doors open onto the hotel’s highlight — a large pool encircled by white umbrellas and lounge chairs." - Tablet Hotels
