No one who stays here will forget the spectacular views of the Niger, since the mighty torrent is visible from most of this high-rise's 191 rooms. Fresh from a major renovation, this 1960 monument has the standard amenities, but what's most memorable is the authentic African atmosphere. Staff wear outfits created by a local designer, prints by Bamako photographers are on display, and notable African films are available for in-room viewing. For those who can stand the heat, there are tennis courts and a golf course; for those who can't, there's a big heart-shaped pool. At Sunday brunch, you'll meet le tout Bamako.
When to go: October and November, when it's dry and relatively cool.
Which room to book: A deluxe double such as No. 904; the higher the floor, the better the view (doubles, $170–$245).
Amenities:
24-hour Room Service,
