Bissau's most luxurious hotel, the Ledger (known to taxi drivers by its former name Lybia Hotel) is where politicians, businesspeople and the small expatriate community congregate – the latter primarily on Sundays for a day by the pool and a pricey buffet lunch (CFA20,000). It's efficiently designed with contemporary furnishings and rooms – even the small economy ones are comfortable.
The Ledger is a large, well-guarded complex 8km east of the airport. It's convenient for late-night arrivals and those who aren't interested in venturing out. A bar, two restaurants, and a bank with an ATM are on the premises.
