Hotel Casa Cornelia is unique for its architecture. More Spanish hacienda or Mediterranean villa than any regular West African hotel, it sits at PK10 (Point Kilométrique 10). About halfway between the mad economic boomtown of Cotonou and the quieter admin capital city Porto-Novo is this peaceful sanctuary. That makes it a prime spot for someone who wants both cities within reach but prefers to sleep in a greener, more peaceful coastal environment. Defining features are an interior courtyard overgrown with lush vegetation and bright gardens plus swimming pool right at home’s heart! It targets couples; expats on weekend getaways from work stress downtown business travelers find too intense congestion inside core areas.
