Boutique hotels in Saint-Louis

Saint-Louis is a former colonial capital on an island in the Senegal River, with elegant wooden balconies, a bridge by Eiffel's firm and a lively jazz scene. The Langue de Barbarie, a long sandy spit, lies just across the river.

Where to stay

A few colonial houses have become small hotels, with courtyards and verandas on the river.

Good to know

The town is about four hours from Dakar. The jazz festival takes place in spring.
