Reception:

Hotel du Phare is a comfortable yet simple hotel situated in a peaceful neighborhood, very near to the airport. The neighborhood is called 'Les Magistrats', as all of the judges in and around Dakar seem to own a house in the area. The area is safe, peaceful and calm.

We are extremely proud of the fact that our hotel is exceptionally clean, a cleaning team patrols the grounds 24 hours a day. The personnel are mostly locals with a European education. The management is Franco-Belgian, The kitchen, the beating heart of our operation, is open to all. You can assist the Belgian chef, watch him work his magic, or just see how nice the place is.

An extensive menu is at your disposal, but your choice is certainly not limited to the menu. You have but to ask, and we will try to accommodate you. The kitchen is open 18 hours a day . The bar is open from 8 am until Midnight.
