Rock Out in Dakar

The Le Méridien President (from 121 euros) is the city’s only real beachfront resort; your room will either face the sea or the nine-hole golf course out back.

Far more central is Hotel Ganale (38 rue Assane-N'Doye; 221-821-5570), a stylish, budget-friendly property with a buzzy late-night bar.

On nearby Gorée Island, the French-managed Auberge Keur Beer (1 rue du Port; 221-821-3801) serves a huge breakfast — with baguettes, bien sur.
