Lokanga Boutique Hotel is a small boutique hotel in the old part of Tana high on the sacred Royal Hill near to the old Queen’s Palace.  Its name comes from the Malagasy word for violin because the house lies on the site of house of the Queen’s musicians. The current Malagasy building dates from the 1930’s. Its long varangue (terrace) faces west to enjoy the sunset views over the city and the surrounded rice fields below. 

The hotel is ideally situated to explore the upper park of Tana on foot. You may also enjoy the 20-30 minute walk down into the bustling city. But perhaps get a taxi on your way back as it’s a steep hike back up the hill.   

The hotel aims to combine the charm of this early twentieth century period - with much use of antiques, family artefacts, old prints and photos. However this is combined with modern amenities. It is has only six individually styled rooms all with a different theme but all sharing the stunning views over the city below. Decorated with family antiques, each also has wifi, minibar, television, heating and en suite bathroom.  Lokanga offers lots of charm and style if you enjoy the period ambience. Other facilities include a restaurant, sitting area and bar, and airport shuttle services.
