Hotels and Accommodation in Addis Ababa

Addis Ababa is one of Africa's great capitals — the seat of the African Union, home to 5 million people and a city of extraordinary contrasts. Gleaming new hotel towers rise beside century-old tej houses. Ethiopian Airlines connects the city to 125 destinations worldwide, making Addis one of the most accessible cities on the continent.

Accommodation in Addis Ababa spans every category and price point. The Bole district — stretching south from the international airport — is where most international visitors and NGO workers choose to base themselves, with the highest concentration of hotels, restaurants and services. Kazanchis and Africa Avenue are home to the city's grand hotels including the Sheraton, the Hilton and the Radisson Blu, all within walking distance of the African Union headquarters and major conference venues. For a more local experience, the Piazza area in the north has small guesthouses and hotels in Italian-era buildings with a distinctly authentic Addis character.

The city is Ethiopia's commercial, diplomatic and cultural hub. Most international visitors arrive here first and use Addis as a base for day trips or as a gateway to Lalibela, Bahir Dar, Gondar and the country's other great destinations. Domestic and diaspora travellers come for business, medical appointments, government visits, family reunions and the city's growing conference calendar.
