La Ribaudière  

In the heart of Antananarivo’s city center, a boutique hotel steps out onto Independence Avenue. Walk to Ambohitsorohitra Palace, Is'Art Galerie and the Rova—great for explorers who want central, city-center lodging with free self-parking.

Warm, simply styled rooms with air-conditioning and flat-screen TVs make this feel like a home base. Expect garden and terrace views, a cozy lobby fireplace, a library nook and onsite massage services for laid-back evenings. Staff speak English and French and daily housekeeping keeps things sharp.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi, 24-hour front desk and concierge, a bar/lounge and a family-style restaurant with alfresco seating. Extras include a terrace and garden, massage room, laundry/dry-cleaning, picnic area, room service (limited hours), tour desk and free self parking; airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

Reliable complimentary Wi‑Fi/high-speed internet and in-room desks help you stay connected on the go.
