Call to reserve

Ground floor

Bar AKABA

A measured, low-lit lounge where the conversation carries. AKABA draws its name from the legendary Fon warrior spirit — and the bar carries that same quiet intensity. Ideal for B2B meetings, evening drinks, or a deliberate pause between commitments. The billiards table anchors the room; the cocktail list keeps you at it.

HoursOpen daily — 5:00 PM to midnight

5th floor — rooftop pool

Bar IFE

Cotonou from above. Bar IFE sits at the edge of the panoramic rooftop pool — open air, long views, the kind of afternoon that turns into an evening without you noticing. Named after the ancient Yoruba city of origin, IFE brings a lighter energy: grilled specialties, fresh-pressed juices, and cocktails that make sense in the sun. Come for lunch; stay for the sky.
