The Lead Restaurant
Sierra Leone
The restaurant at The Lead Hotel offers a place to dine within an apartment hotel on Freetown’s Aberdeen coast. Its setting places a meal close to the property’s private beach and swimming pool, giving it a different context from a restaurant in the centre of the city. Published hotel information describes Italian cooking as part of the restaurant’s offering, with lunch and dinner served. A pool bar provides a separate option for a drink during a stay. For guests occupying the hotel’s suites, the restaurant adds a convenient alternative to the more independent rhythm of apartment accommodation. It also makes it possible to keep an evening within the property after a day of appointments or sightseeing. The appeal is the combination of a hotel dining room and a coastal address. It is best considered as part of The Lead’s wider experience of staying by the water in Aberdeen.
