Ghion Hotel  

In the heart of downtown Addis Ababa, set inside a spacious verdant compound next to the former Jubilee Palace. Ghion Hotel is minutes from Meskel Square and Africa Hall, and within walking distance of the Red Terror Martyrs' Memorial Museum, Addis Ababa Stadium and the Lion of Judah Monument.

A historic spa-resort opened in 1951 and often called the "Garden Palace of East Africa," Ghion mixes presidential pedigree with relaxed garden vibes. The hotel has 195 rooms with private balconies and LCD TVs, plus on-site spa and sauna facilities. Expect classic public spaces, a verdant courtyard, and a vibe that balances vintage elegance with lively city energy.

Full-service spa offering massages, an outdoor pool and a health club set the tone for leisure. Nightclub, poolside bar and two lounges keep evenings buzzing. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, 24-hour airport shuttle, concierge, hair salon, picnic and barbecue areas, free parking and 24-hour room service round out the practical perks — and you can wake up to garden-view mornings from many rooms.

A 24-hour business center, conference space and meeting rooms make this a solid pick for events and corporate stays. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and a 24-hour front desk support seamless meetings and arrivals.

Three on-site restaurants including the Bridge Restaurant serve international cuisine, plus a coffee shop/café for snacks and light bites. Enjoy a daily complimentary buffet breakfast (served 5:30–10:00 AM), poolside drinks and 24-hour room service for late-night cravings.
