Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Abidjan
26 stays · 24 aparthotels and 2 serviced apartments
Aparthotels and serviced apartments in Abidjan are widely used by business travellers and people on longer assignments, who need a kitchen, a workspace and a base that suits a city built around a lagoon. Wikipedia reports 6.3 million residents at the 2021 census, 21.5 per cent of the country's population, so Abidjan is large, and the district you choose affects your daily travel time more than the property itself.

Where to stay in Abidjan
Plateau
- business travel
- short stays
The Plateau is Abidjan's business centre. Wikipedia describes it as Ivory Coast's business centre with very modern, tall buildings, and government offices are located here, on Boulevard Carde and Angoulvant Boulevard. It is in northern Abidjan, north of the lagoon, and suits meetings in the commercial and government district.
Cocody
- long stays
- embassy visits
- families
Cocody is described by Wikipedia as an upmarket district famous for its residential areas, home to the wealthy classes, expatriates and diplomats, and by Wikivoyage as an upmarket district with a beach. It is in northern Abidjan, north of the lagoon, and Wikivoyage says taxis in Cocody are yellow.

Riviera Golf
- long stays
- residential feel
Riviera is one of the residential districts of Cocody that Wikipedia names. Wikivoyage lists Riviera Golf on Boulevard de France in Cocody. It suits longer stays where you want a residential setting rather than the business district.
Deux Plateaux
- long stays
- residential feel
Deux Plateaux is named by Wikipedia as one of Cocody's residential districts, and as the city's wealthiest neighbourhood. It suits longer stays where you want a residential setting rather than the business district.

Marcory and Zone 4
- long stays
- residential feel
Marcory is a southern commune that Wikipedia describes as mainly residential, containing the upscale Biétry and Zone 4 neighbourhoods where many foreigners live. Wikivoyage says taxis in Marcory are blue. It is on the southern side of the lagoon, in the same half of the city as the airport commune of Port-Bouët.

Treichville
- local feel
- lagoon crossings
Treichville is on the southern side of the lagoon and, per Wikipedia, is home to the Autonomous Port of Abidjan and many stores. Wikivoyage describes a ferry crossing from the Blockhaus terminal, taking about 15 minutes, to the Treichville ferry terminal.
Getting around Abidjan
Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport is in Port-Bouët, on the southern side of the lagoon, according to Wikipedia and Wikivoyage. Wikivoyage says most taxis have no working meter, so agree the fare before you set off.
Wikipedia says SOTRA provides urban transport by bus, taxi and express lines, and Wikivoyage says buses are decently reliable, though often crowded. Wikivoyage also describes colour-coded taxis: yellow in Cocody, green in Koumassi and Treichville, and blue in Marcory, Yopougon and Abobo. The Houphouët-Boigny, Charles de Gaulle and Henri Konan Bédié bridges join northern and southern Abidjan, according to Wikipedia, which matters when planning journeys between the Plateau and the southern communes.
Living in Abidjan for longer
Choose a base that matches your daily destination: the Plateau for office-based work, Cocody (including Deux Plateaux and Riviera) for residential stays, and Marcory for the southern side of the lagoon. Because the lagoon splits the city, the bridges and ferry matter for planning commutes.
Wikipedia notes that Adjamé is commercially very important and Yopougon is the most populous commune. For other places we cover in the country, see the Ivory Coast page.
When to visit Abidjan
Wikipedia describes tropical wet-dry conditions with a long rainy season from March to July and a short rainy season from September to December. August is cooler, averaging about 24.5 degrees Celsius, because of the Benguela Current.
Wikivoyage's climate chart shows the heaviest rainfall in June, so expect wetter weather in the long rainy season and allow extra travel time.
Wikipedia says the Ébrié Lagoon separates northern and southern Abidjan. It describes the Plateau as the business centre, Cocody as famous for its residential districts and home to the wealthy, and Marcory as residential with upscale neighbourhoods, with Treichville home to the port.
