K Hotel Douala

Set in the Bonanjo district, Douala's business quarter, K Hotel Douala stands within reach of banks, consulates and corporate offices near the mouth of the Wouri River. The city itself is Cameroon's economic capital and one of the continent's busiest ports, with markets, museums and a gallery of Cameroonian contemporary art nearby, along with the Palace of the Kings Bell close at hand. The hotel's rooms and suites run from deluxe doubles to a junior suite with a separate living area and work desk. Each room carries a 49-inch television, tea and coffee station, rain shower and blackout curtains, with wifi and in-room dining available around the clock. The junior suite sleeps up to three, with a queen bed and a sofa bed for a third guest; the deluxe twin holds two, with a pair of single beds for guests sharing. A gym runs 24 hours a day. Downstairs, the pool anchors the social scene, with a deck bar serving Kadji beer and light meals into the evening, often to live music. Dining spans an all-day buffet and an à la carte dinner menu built on local and international dishes. It is a compact, business-minded base, built for guests moving between meetings and the port city beyond its doors.
