Hôtel de la Poste  

On the banks of the Senegal River, just after the Faidherbe Bridge on Saint-Louis Island. This historic, family-friendly hotel sits at the entrance to the UNESCO-listed old town — about 1.5 km from the city centre, roughly 800 m from the beach, around 5 km from the local airport (Dakar is farther, about 270 km).

Housed in an 1850 colonial building once lived in by aviator Jean Mermoz and renovated in 2009, the hotel blends period charm with modern comforts across 40 rooms (including 1 suite). Rooms are air‑conditioned and come with TV, shower and Wi‑Fi; some offer river or bridge views. Public spaces include a courtyard and garden, a sun terrace with pool bar, and a riverside restaurant with bridge-facing views.

Outdoor swimming pool with sun terrace and pool bar, sauna and a massage room, plus a cafeteria with terrace, lounge and on-site bar. Free on-site parking, 24-hour reception, tour desk and transfer services make getting around easy. Wake up to river-breeze mornings and unwind on sun loungers or with laundry and dry-cleaning services available.

Conference rooms and a conference hall are on-site for meetings and events, supported by free wireless internet throughout the property.

The Flamingo restaurant sits on the riverbank with views of the Faidherbe Bridge and serves local cuisine; there's also a cafeteria with terrace, a pool bar and a hotel bar. A breakfast room is available, and several popular local eateries are within easy walking distance.
