The brand new Radisson Hotel, Bamako is ideally situated in the heart of the newly-developed ACI 2000 district. Located just west of the hectic and congested city centre, the hotel's peaceful and opulent surroundings are the perfect oasis for business and leisure guests to escape to. The government of Mali has invested heavily into this district as it is home to its dubbed Administrative City.
The hotel is close to several top attractions such as the National Library of Mali (25 min. walk), Tour BCEAO (25 min. walk), and the Pont du Roi Fahd (15 min. walk). Senou International Airport is an easy 15 minutes drive from the hotel. The International Centre of Meeting of Bamako is just 5 minutes drive from the hotel.
Mali
Home to desert bandits, Timbuktu, multi-storied mosques built of mud and villages carved into the pink sandstone cliffs, Mali is country that tempts the imagination. Visitors to this part of the world can revel in the majestic beauty of the Sahara sands that sweep across much of the county and evoke images from classic movies such as Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator. Bamako is situated close to the border of 7 countries from Algeria to the North, Cote d'Ivoire and Guinea to the South, Mauritania and Senegal to the West and Burkina to the Southeast. Given its strategic position, it's estimated to be Africa's fastest growing city and is quickly absorbing interesting cultural and traditional customs from its neighbours, making it a unique and inspiring destination for the intrepid traveller.
