About Hotels in Lagos
Lagos is one of Africa's most exhilarating cities, combining a thriving arts scene anchored by the Nike Art Gallery, iconic landmarks such as Tafawa Balewa Square, and a food culture stretching from suya stalls to inventive restaurants in Lekki. Football fans flock to watch matches at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, while the beaches at Elegushi and Tarkwa Bay offer a lively coastal escape.
From polished five-star hotels on Victoria Island to independently run boutique stays in the creative enclaves of Lekki, Lagos accommodates every style of traveller. The city is well served by the blue BRT bus corridors and water ferries, making it straightforward to move between the island and the mainland.
Where to Stay in Lagos
Victoria Island
The cosmopolitan hub and the natural choice for first-time visitors. Home to the city's key business districts, beachfront bars, and easy access to Eko Atlantic, with a wide variety of hotels at every level.
Ikoyi
Lagos's most refined and leafy address, favoured by diplomats and executives. Quiet, well-maintained streets, upscale dining along Bourdillon Road, and proximity to the Federal Golf Club make it ideal for a luxury stay.
Lekki Phase 1
A creative and youthful neighbourhood packed with independent restaurants, art galleries, and concept stores. Brilliant for travellers who want character and a local flavour without straying far from the island.
Ikeja
The mainland's commercial and administrative centre, close to Murtala Muhammed International Airport and Lagos State government offices. A practical, affordable base that suits transit passengers and budget-conscious visitors alike.
Airport and Transport Guide
Lagos is served by Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS), Nigeria's busiest hub with direct connections to destinations across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. The airport is linked to the mainland and island areas via the Muritala Muhammed Airport Road, with BRT buses and shared minibuses (danfo) operating throughout the day and into the evening. For late-night arrivals, pre-booked airport taxis remain the most reliable option.
Within the city, the Lagos Ferry Services network offers a practical way to cross the lagoon between the mainland and Lagos Island, avoiding notorious road traffic. The Lagos Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is the most affordable option for longer routes. Metered taxis are available but negotiate fares in naira before departure, with typical cross-island journeys costing ₦3,000–₦6,000. Bolt and inDrive are the most widely used ride-hailing apps in the city.
Tips for Finding the Best Hotel Deal in Lagos
- Book at least 6–8 weeks ahead for stays during Felabration in October or the Lagos Jazz Series, when mid-range and upmarket hotels fill quickly.
- Neighbourhoods such as Surulere on the mainland and Yaba offer noticeably lower nightly rates than Victoria Island or Lekki, with BRT access to the centre.
- Look for hotels that include breakfast — Lagos traffic makes heading out for morning meals time-consuming, so an included breakfast saves both effort and money.
- Choose free cancellation rates where possible, as Lagos hotel demand can shift sharply around public holidays and last-minute corporate travel surges.
- Weekday stays from Sunday to Thursday tend to be cheaper in Lagos, as business travel drives weekend demand at hotels in Victoria Island and Ikoyi.
- Sign up to loyalty programmes with Radisson and Marriott, both of which have a strong Lagos presence and offer member-only rates and upgrades.
When to Visit Lagos for Lower Prices
Winter (Low Season)
December to January sees lower leisure demand outside the brief festive spike around Christmas and New Year. Once the holiday period passes, mid-January brings some of the year's most competitive hotel rates, typically £45–£80 per night at mid-range properties.
Spring (Value Season)
February to April brings dry, warm conditions as the harmattan fades. Business travel picks up but leisure demand remains moderate, offering a reasonable balance of comfortable weather and mid-range pricing before the rainy season begins.
Summer (High Season)
May to August coincides with the main rainy season but also peak diaspora visits and major corporate events. Hotel prices rise steadily, particularly in Victoria Island and Lekki. Book well in advance for the best available rates during this period.
Autumn (Value Season)
September to November sees rains easing and the city energised by events including Felabration in October. Demand rises around these cultural moments but broader hotel rates remain accessible, making it a lively and reasonably priced time to visit.
