Hexagon

Nigeria


Owned by a prince of the Benin royal family, Hexagon has a gallery which displays ancient artworks as well as contemporary pieces; the outdoor Coconut Bar, which serves grilled grub and beer; a nightclub; and 19 rooms. These are spacious, with extremely comfortable beds and good bathrooms. The highlight of a stay here, though, is the excellent live bands at the Coconut Bar.
