This northwestern African nation is a land of desolate beauty. Three quarters of the country is desert, contrasted by the North Atlantic Ocean to the west. Add to that a spectacular abundance of dunes and birdlife and you’ve got an authentic taste of African scenery. For the most stunning sights of the Sahara, head for the Adrar massif in the north. The rocky terrain and narrow canyons are ideal for a 4x4 excursion. Be sure to take in the millenia-old architecture of Chinguetti and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ouadane along the way. Home to millions of migrating birds, the Parc National du Banc d’Arguin can be found along much of the central coastline. The World Heritage-listed park is best explored by boat with a local guide. A wide range of accommodation types are available, with hotels found in the capital Nouakchott and other cities of Atar, Nouadhibou and Chinguetti.

Guest review
Incredibly kind and understanding Staff. They have a Doorman who’s name is something like Abdul Raheem? who always has a big smile and is incredibly kind and attentive. We came back from the Iron Ore Train and it was a great place to wash off, with included Bodywash and Shampoo.

Guest review
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Urban Hotel Suite, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with warmth and professionalism.
The suite was spacious, modern, and impeccably clean. The decor was stylish and comfortable, with every amenity I could possibly need. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep.
The hotel's location is perfect, Whether you’re looking to explore the city or relax in comfort, it’s ideally situated. I also appreciated the delicious breakfast options.
What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the level of service. Every staff member went out of their way to ensure I had a pleasant stay, and their attention to detail was remarkable.
Overall, my experience at Urban Hotel Suite was fantastic, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a top-notch stay in the city. I’ll certainly be returning in the future!
