Not all hotels are built new. Some come with past lives — as palaces, old forts, or colonial legacies turned conscious luxury. These are our favorite African stays with powerful stories:
1. Mount Nelson – Cape Town, South Africa
Opened in 1899, this pink icon hosted Winston Churchill, the Dalai Lama, and now you. Colonial charm meets five-star elegance.
2. El Minzah Hotel – Tangier, Morocco
A favorite of diplomats and artists since 1930. Moorish architecture, ocean views, and timeless glamour.
3. Grand Hotel Djibloho – Equatorial Guinea
An abandoned megaproject now partially reopened, blending ghost-town energy with ambition.
4. Hotel Metropole – Kampala, Uganda
Once a colonial mansion, now a sleek city escape surrounded by history and gardens.
5. Palácio de Ferro – Luanda, Angola
Rumored to be designed by Eiffel himself, this iron palace-turned-hotel brings industrial elegance to Angola.
