Royal Grand Hotel  

In Monrovia's coastal strip — a beach hotel just minutes from Ce Ce Beach and Invincible Sports Park. Providence Island and the Liberian National Museum sit about 1.7 miles away. Roberts International Airport is roughly 34 miles from the property.

Fifty-eight air-conditioned rooms include 4 deluxe suites, 2 presidential suites and 52 deluxe doubles.

Expect a sleek, city-meets-coast vibe and a rooftop patio for easy evening hangs.

Pamper yourself with massages, body treatments and facials at the on-site spa, or hit the 24-hour fitness center. Mornings can start with sea-breeze walks then coffee from the cafe; unwind at two bars/lounges or the rooftop patio. Complimentary Wi-Fi, concierge service, a hair salon, daily complimentary reception, airport shuttle (surcharge) and free self-parking round out the essentials.

Built for work or events: a business center, meeting rooms and about 861 sq ft (80 sq m) of event space. Services include express check-out, dry cleaning/laundry and round-the-clock concierge support.

Choose from three on-site restaurants, enjoy snacks at the coffee shop/cafe, or order room service during limited hours. Two bars/lounges and a daily complimentary reception make evening plans easy.
