5-star hotels in Lagos
This shortlist gathers the 5-star hotels in Lagos, from Victoria Island to Ikoyi, Ikeja and Surulere. It is for travellers who want the city's top class of stay for business, a couple's break or a family visit.
Staying in Lagos
Lagos was Nigeria's former capital and keeps the landmarks of that role: the National Museum on Lagos Island and the Nike Art Gallery in Lekki. The climate is tropical, with a wet season from April to October and a dry season from November to March, and temperatures stay warm all year. It is a commercial centre, and its hotels range from international chains to local establishments serving business and leisure travellers.
These five-star addresses cluster on the island districts. Victoria Island and Ikoyi take the largest share, with Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotel Lagos V.I., Lagos Continental Hotel, Eko Hotel Main Building, The Blowfish Hotel, Lagos Oriental Hotel, The Federal Palace Hotel & Casino, The White Orchid Hotel, Galpin Suites and The George. Ikeja, home to Murtala Muhammed International Airport, is convenient for transit passengers. The spread suits business travellers, couples and families alike.
