Airport Residential

The fastest growing area of Accra

Airport is not only the first place you'll see in Accra, it is, as you'll notice, where most of the development is happening. New malls, hotels , bars and restaurants - including the unmissable Santoku - are all in what's loosely defined as 'Airport' or 'Airport Residential'.

In this site, we have split up 'Airport' into 'Airport East', which covers Accra Mall and the Spintex road north of the Airport. In Accra Mall, you'll find plenty of high-end shops, as well as supermarkets, pharmacies and bars.

Airport Residential is largely around the southern end of the airport and includes two of Accra's best restaurants: La Chaumiere and Santoku, as well as one of the city's most active cultural venues - the Alliance Francaise d'Accra. Also being home to many of the city's offices you'll find other upmarket restaurants such as Osteria Michelangelo and Branche in the Lancaster hotel.

Finally Airport City is loosely defined along the Liberation Road and includes places such as the new Marina Mall and Holiday Inn. But best not to get too hung up on the nomenclature - just head to Airport for Accra's most upmarket vibes. Dare we say it? It's overtaking Osu as Accra's hottest neighbourhood.
