Cotonou hotels like a local.
Cotonou gives you Benin’s Atlantic city life in one practical option: beaches, lagoon quarters, zémidjan rides, public art, shifting markets, and easy trips to Ganvié and Ouidah.

About Cotonou
Cotonou is Benin’s economic capital and main visitor entry point, set on the narrow Littoral strip between Lake Nokoué and the Atlantic Ocean. The Littoral is a single-commune department with 13 arrondissements and 143 city quarters, and Cotonou concentrates much of the country’s administrative and political activity. For travellers, it works best as a base for food, beach time, contemporary art, market culture, and day trips into lake, Vodun and transatlantic-history country.
