A review of Park Inn Libreville in Gabon from the trip Wandering West Africa.
Highlights
- Modern and trendy design.
- Outdoor event and pool area.
- Located next to the beach and close to airport.
- Excellent professional staff.
Background
Park Inn by Radisson Libreville has a unique location right next to the beach and in close proximity to both the airport and center of Libreville. This means the area is calm, safe and convenient. They also have a free shuttle service to the airport. This new 4 star hotel has 140 rooms and suites and is connected to the Radisson Blu next door.
I was excited to experience a modern international brand after some difficult traveling!
Experience
Coming in from Benin, I was glad to see how close the property was to the airport. The lobby was very trendy with a modern style and sleek bar furniture. I was soon checked in and relaxing in my room.
I stayed in a Standard Room with a great view overlooking the sea. A king bed faced a flat screen TV on a single piece of furniture with a desk and coffee making set up. A bright red designer chair and lamp stood next to the bed. The vibrant colors help create an upbeat atmosphere. The bathroom had a cool mirror and sink with a shower next to it.
The super fast free internet was one of my favorite points of the hotel especially as I often have to upload many pictures for my blog.
In terms of restaurants, the Park Inn’s healthy breakfast buffet is at La Palette serving international cuisine.
Olatano Restaurant is a fine dining lunch and dinner offering serving international and local cuisine. Takeaway sushi is also available!
In the lobby is WAÏ Bar, a sophisticated gathering place for guests and locals. The freshly made cocktails pack quite a punch! The other bar is the Pooslide Bar where you can order drinks or snacks right from the comfort of your lounge chair.
The two pools outside the hotel are ideal for cooling off from the hot Gabonese sun. Nearby is the beach which is great for a stroll. A gym is also available near the pool. The largest market in town, shops, restaurants, and nightlife are all a quick taxi ride away. Ask the front desk for recommendations.
If visiting on business, Park Inn shares nine conference rooms and a large ballroom that can accommodate up to 500 people. These modern facilities in this calm area is perfect for events and meetings.
Staff at the hotel were very friendly and professional. I felt at ease as soon as I walked in. The reception happily addressed my concerns and the management team was a true pleasure to chat with.
Whether visiting for work or pleasure, the Park Inn by Radisson Libreville is a prime destination to base your stay in the capital. With a modern interior and design, a convenient location, and a winning team, I will definitely stay again.
