See the hotels that care
The Hospitality with Heart Awards is an initiative to recognise hotels that are raising the standard of care in Ghana. The award scheme celebrates hotels that are actively and genuinely expanding their scope of comfort beyond their facilities and guests to animal welfare and the layer hens that provide the eggs they serve their guests. The award ranking specifically assesses hotels' efforts to eliminate the confinement of laying hens in cage systems within their egg supply chains.
Why This Matters
Since the launch of the first Hotel Benchmark Ranking in 2025, Animal Welfare League has been leading efforts to improve transparency and accelerate the transition to cage-free egg sourcing across the hospitality sector. Hotels in Ghana are making significant improvements in ethical sourcing, helping guests make informed choices and encouraging the hospitality sector to embrace humane and sustainable practices. The awards provide an accountability framework for the hospitality industry, enabling businesses to benchmark their progress and align with growing consumer expectations for ethical sourcing. Rankings are based on Animal Welfare League's engagement with hotels and publicly available information, including sustainability reports and corporate disclosures on the use of cage-free eggs in Ghana.
Hotels featured here have been selected based on their Google ratings, national popularity, and a minimum classification of three stars by the Ghana Tourism Authority.
Explore the rankings below to discover which hotels are leading the way in ethical sourcing and supporting a cage-free future.

with Heart Awards
Champion of Compassion
For hotels with strong, public cage-free commitments that have successfully completed their transition to 100% cage-free eggs.
These hotels are setting the standard for responsible hospitality in Ghana. By putting care for animals alongside quality, guest experience, and social responsibility, they show that meaningful leadership goes beyond the guest stay. They are proving that a more compassionate hospitality sector is possible, and helping lead the way.

100% of all eggs sourced are cage-free.
Consistent, transparent reporting in annual/sustainability reports.
Active promotion of their cage-free commitment to consumers.
Rising Star
For hotels that are beginning their animal welfare journey.
They have initiated an audit into their supply chain and commenced a minimum of 25% procurement of cage free eggs. These hotels have established a clear timeline and are positively working towards meeting their deadline and are in regular communication with Animal Welfare League to identify opportunities, overcome challenges, and accelerate their progress toward a fully cage-free egg supply.
Indicators:

Heartless
For hotels that have not made a cage-free commitment or shown meaningful progress.
These hotels have not made a public cage-free commitment, demonstrated meaningful progress, or engaged constructively with Animal Welfare League despite multiple opportunities to do so. As a result, they rank lowest in this year's Benchmark.
While Ghana’s hospitality sector is moving toward more responsible sourcing, these hotels have yet to demonstrate action on cage-free eggs. Guests increasingly expect hotels to reflect values of care, responsibility, and progress—not only in the experience they offer, but also in the choices behind it.
Indicators:
Lack of any public statements or commitments regarding cage-free eggs.
No evidence of engagement with animal welfare organizations.
Continued reliance on conventional egg sourcing practices.
No stated plans to transition to cage-free eggs.
