Lokanga Boutique Hotel - A 1930s Malagasy residence with panoramic views, antique furnishings, and a Malagasy tasting menu
Occupying a traditional Malagasy residence dating from 1930 at the top of the royal hill, Lokanga Boutique Hotel offers a 180° panoramic terrace overlooking Antananarivo and is a 5-minute walk from The Queen's Palace. This 3-star property features 5 unique suites, each with antique furnishings, photos, and paintings that immerse guests in Malagasy history, along with private balconies or patios and bathrooms with antique bathtubs. The on-site restaurant serves Malagasy, Mascarene (Mauritius and Reunion), and European cuisine, including a Malagasy tasting menu for sampling local specialties, and a daily buffet breakfast from 6:30 AM. A sundowner aperitif with foie gras and white wine, or a Malagasy version with tsaky tsaky and homemade coconut punch, is available on the terrace. The hotel provides free Wi-Fi in public areas, free parking, a bar/lounge, room service, and a 24-hour front desk. Concierge services, luggage storage, laundry facilities, and a library are available. A tranquil garden and sun terrace offer respite from the city.
