Seku Bi is an intimate boutique hotel located on Dakar’s petite corniche, facing the Atlantic Ocean. Behind you, the Place d’Independance and the bustling city, in front of you, only the sea and beautiful sunsets.
We have 7 rooms spread across two French colonial villas that are filled with carefully picked contemporary art from the continent. We have equipped every room with high speed Internet, personalized climate control and fully modern bathrooms but we’ve decided to keep the heritage of the building, like the original terrazzo floors and the thick white walls. Open your window and let the ocean winds sweep in. You won’t want to leave.
Although Seku Bi, takes its name from the parrots that hang out in the Frangipani tree in our garden, rest assured, you’ll feel safe and at home here, thanks to our unobtrusive yet intuitive team. Welcome, we’ll be waiting for you with a bissap, jus gingimbre, or cold Gazelle.

Buunna cafe
More detailsSometime around 750 CE, a goat herder from the Kaffa region in Ethiopia noticed his goats becoming exciting and dancing after eating bright red berries. After chewing on the fruit himself, he too felt the energizing effects and rushed home to tell the village monks.
Deeming the berries a sinful drung, the monks tossed them into the flames, an action followed by the all too familiar small of roasting beans.
Intruiged from the aroma, the monks then raked the roasted beans from the golden embers, ground them and dissolved them in hot water, yielding the world's first cup of coffee.
Many years later, Mussolini's troops arrived, however they quickly dropped their arms after seeing Ethiopia's beautiful women. While they didn't conquer Ethiopia, they did build the finest coffee machines in the world which have become an integral part of Ethiopian coffee culture.
Today, coffee or "Buunna" remains a vital communal ritual in Ethiopia. Our mission is to serve you coffee maintaining the reputation, heritage and tradition of Ethiopia coffee.
We hope our coffee makes you want to dance.
