Christiansborg Castle

Built by the Danish as Christianborg Castle in the 1660s, Osu Castle has since then been passed on to many different owners. The castle was used for the trade of slaves and gold but was abandoned after the abolition of slave trading in 1803. In 1902 Christiansborg Castle became the seat of government and serves as the office of Ghana's President.

Are Hotels in Ghana really more expensive that those in the Subregion?

Ghana’s hotel prices are often perceived as high, but the real issue lies in the country’s costly business environment - land, utilities, taxes, financing and imports. While premium hotels in Accra are expensive, budget and mid‑range options nationwide remain competitive. The real challenge is cost, competitiveness and value for money.
