“The business tourism in Ethiopia, and especially in Addis Ababa, has been growing very quickly over the last ten years. It has progressed and has changed its direction quite often and in a way to target different interests,” says Martha Adugna, owner and general manager of Residence Suite Hotel.
Residence Suite Hotel reached full occupancy in four months after opening in May 2013.
“We only have 19 rooms which are favored by many visitors due to very private surroundings, and we specifically target long-staying guests which is why we made the rooms very spacious,” says Martha Adugna, owner and general manager of Residence Suite Hotel.
Best Hotels in Ethiopia
The hospitality industry in Ethiopia is indeed flourishing even though it remains to be labelled as ‘infant’ when compared to the huge demand that emanates from the fact that Ethiopia—and especially its capital Addis Ababa—is progressively becoming a hub for (political and economic) conferences and meetings in Africa.
We have put down a list of the best companies in the hospitality / hotel industry in Ethiopia. The first two best hotels in our best hotels list could be labelled as newcomers while Hilton Addis has already been in business for almost half-century.
The best hotels in Ethiopia include Intercontinental Addis, Residence Suite Hotel, Radisson Blu, Hilton Addis and Sheraton Addis.
Intercontinental Addis Hotel
Intercontinental Addis Hotel has joined the network of hotels in Addis Ababa only two years ago and it is one of the few five star hotels in the country. Intercontinental Addis Hotel is currently expanding its base in Addis and will be soon opening new branches in other parts of Ethiopia.
Residence Suite Hotel
Residence Suite Hotel is a very new addition to Addis hotels as it only opened in May 2013. Residence Suite nevertheless became one of the best and most popular places to stay in Addis Ababa and is very valued for its high quality services. The hotel offers luxury accommodation in spacious suites, and therefore is suitable for both short-term and long-term staying guests.
