List of Hotels in Nigeria, Africa

Nigeria, an independent nation on the Atlantic coast in West Africa, is home to around 140 million residents. The nation is known as a major oil producer and agricultural state as well as having one of the fastest-growing African economies. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy viewing wildlife in Yankari National Park as well as tracing the old Saharan trade routes near Kano.

Most of the population, and thus the hotels, are located along the Atlantic coast near the capital city of Lagos.
