5-star hotels in Abuja
It is for travellers who want the city's top class of accommodation, whether they are staying for business, a family trip or a short break.
Staying in Abuja
Abuja gives visitors a mix of cultural and natural attractions. Aso Rock, a large monolith, is a prominent landmark, and the city has several parks, such as Millennium Park, while the Jabi Lake area provides waterfront recreation. The National Children's Park and Zoo and the Arts and Crafts Village are popular spots, and the dining and nightlife scene has grown, with options ranging from local Nigerian cuisine to international restaurants.
These hotels sit across several districts. Maitama, home to the Summerset Continental Hotel Maitama on Usuma Street, is an upscale district popular with diplomats and business travellers. Asokoro, an affluent neighbourhood housing the Presidential Villa and many government buildings, has the Summerset Continental Hotel Asokoro and Fahrenheit Apartments. Other listed hotels stand in Wuse, Garki, Jabi, Guzape, Karsana and Gwarimpa. The group suits couples, families and business travellers: Transcorp Hilton Abuja, Fraser Suites Abuja and The Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments all hold a 4.6 guest rating, and family rooms, kids pools and apartments with kitchens appear among the facilities.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Abuja is served by Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, located about 40 kilometres west of the city centre. Taxis and ride-hailing services are available at the airport. The city is connected by a network of highways, and intercity buses run from Lagos and other major cities. Within Abuja, getting around is easiest by car or taxi; public buses also operate but can be crowded. The Abuja Light Rail currently has limited service. Renting a car with a driver is a common option for visitors.
When to go
The best time to visit Abuja is during the dry season, from November to March, when the weather is sunny and less humid. The rainy season runs from April to October, with heavy downpours and occasional flooding. Temperatures are generally high year-round, so lightweight clothing is recommended. The harmattan, a dry dusty wind, can occur between December and February, reducing visibility.
