The Liberia, West Africa area, once a conflict zone, is now disarmed and welcoming new tourism. While intermittent wars once destroyed many structures in Liberia, the area is recovering rapidly, thanks to the democratic presidential elections that brought new order starting in 1997. The area has several hotels offering visitors both basic and luxury accommodations. Hotel rooms in Liberia frequently have views of the Atlantic coastline, with many accommodations very close to the beach.
The Mamba Point Hotel has 55 rooms furnished with heavy wood furniture and king-size beds. Mamba Point is in the center of the Diplomatic Quarter and is minutes away from the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel grounds feature tropical gardens and ocean views. The National Hall, where Liberian presidents are sworn in, is within walking distance, as are the remains of the bombed Masonic Temple, which continues to be a tourist attraction. Internet access is available in designated areas of the hotel. Mamba Point Hotel guests have free access to the swimming pool, sauna, tennis courts, Jacuzzi and fitness center, all of which are on-site.
The Cape Hotel is located in Monrovia, Liberia, along the Atlantic coastline. Area attractions include the Liberian National Museum and the Waterslide Market, which is a short walk away. The hotel is adjacent to the Mamba Point Casino. Available accommodations range from single rooms with one full bed to executive suites with a king-size bed and separate living area. Each room includes satellite television, telephone and free high-speed Internet access. The on-site restaurant offers buffet-style food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A beachfront bar offers a terrace with oceanfront views.
The Atlantis Beach Hotel, situated directly on the beach in Monrovia, proclaims "This is your home away from home in Liberia." The hotel is close to the Liberian Embassy offices, and is near the Coconut Grove Amusement Park. The Mamba Point Casino is in the area, as is the Waterslide Market. The hotel offers single rooms, suites, and apartments for both short and long-term visitors. Each guest receives free high-speed Internet access, digital cable television, and round-the-clock electricity and hot water (a rarity in this section of West Africa.) Guests have access to complimentary laundry and dry-cleaning services during their stay. A free daily breakfast is provided for all guests. The on-site restaurant and bar serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day.
