The city of Saint-Louis, the former colonial capital of Senegal, is the heart of one of the most beautiful regions in West Africa. Its one-storeyed houses with outside staircase, elaborate wooden balcony and veranda are reminiscent of New Orleans.

It was from here during the era of the "Aérospostale" company that Jean Mermoz set off, on 12 May 1930, at the controls of his seaplane "Comte de Vaulx", for his first flight across the South Atlantic.

The Hotel Mermoz occupies an area of 2.5 hectares and is located 3 km from the centre of Saint-Louis on the "Langue de Barbarie", a narrow strip of sand between the Atlantic Ocean and the Senegal River.

The hotel is made up of charming twoo-bedroomed bungalows, each with a surface area of 30 m2 and its own bath room. A central building houses the hotel reception, a bar and a restaurant. Since August 1998, a swiming pool has been added to our installations.
