That might need to change after <b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/kempinski hotels">Kempinski</a></b> opens its newest hotel next year, called <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/5202"><strong>Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City Accra</strong></a>. <p>The Munich-based luxury hotel chain is claiming stake on central Africa's seaside city with plans to welcome guests as soon as April.

You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/hotelchatter/">HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool</a>, or by <a href="mailto:tips@hotelchatter.com">sending the photo along to us</a>.

The <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g293797-d307958-Reviews-Labadi_Beach_Hotel-Accra-m10559.html"><b>Labadi Beach Hotel</b></a> in Accra is arguably the country's best hotel with its 5-star status, although they still can't seem to afford having their own website.<p> But just as we started getting into the spirit of booking a hotel in Ghana, warnings began appearing that had us rethinking our world cup fervor-turned tourism interest. For a 5-star it appears that the Labadi Beach Resort falls short. Although the staff is described as friendly, they are also described as slow and hard to find.
