Lagos Avenida

Every room has a balcony or terrace, and the rooftop infinity pool looks straight out over the marina, which makes a persuasive case for not going to the beach at all. This design-forward hotel in Lagos splits the difference between resort and urban cool, sitting a short walk from both the old town and the sand. An onsite restaurant runs from breakfast through a seafood-leaning dinner, so leaving the property is optional.
