Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

La Varangue £££££

  • Madagascar
  • City

This lovely old creole style house oozes colonial charm with the brightly painted shutters and national flags on the outside a colourful contrast to the whitewashed walls and corridors. Vintage cars parked outside and the cool, darkly wooded interiors lit at night by hurricane lamps complete the picture, but its location, hidden away down a steep lane next to the Presidential Palace makes it feel even more exclusive.

  • Madagascar
  • City

Relais Des Plateaux is in a residential area, just 10 minutes from the airport and an hour from the city centre. There are 42 en suite rooms with the choice of luxury and family suites.

Lokanga Boutique Hotel £££££

One of the smallest hotels in Tana, the property has gained a reputation as one of the friendliest places in the city. Each of the six bedrooms is decorated with vintage furniture, but include a splash of contemporary styling to lift the design.
