Hotels which are very close (i.e., either within walking distance or are about 7-15 min. drive) to the University will offer discounts to ICTM participants—see details below.
Some of the major hotels farther away from the University (i.e., from the airport to inner Accra city) are unable to offer any special discounts at this early part of the year, especially when the conference is in July and new rates for 2023 are pending in come cases; details will be provided as they become available.
For the discounted hotels below, there is no special code needed when making reservation; just mention the July ICTM conference and the LAC chair’s name—Professor Avorgbedor. Specific hotel contacts or agents to ask for are among the details provided below.
Major international 4- to 5-star hotels at the airport (within about 15-min drive to Legon) with rates ranging from $150 to over $300 are listed next.
NB: There are many bargain BnB , for example by googling “bnb near Legon”, apart from other categories of hotel accommodation in the inner city, Acca. Cheaper campus housing is limited due to the fact that school will still be in session in July--see below. Most rates are in USD but local equivalents are negotiable. Even where only the local currency is specified, payment in USD or EUR will be accepted.
For questions, concerns, and suggestons email the LAC at ictmghana23@gmail.com; or perazimm@gmail.com
