Best hotels in Ethiopia

Ethiopia holds some of Africa’s most fascinating history and a myriad of natural wonders, and our 91 properties run from high-end city hotels to lodges deep in the mountains. Expect to pay from about USD 80 up to USD 400 per person per night. First-timers usually start in Lalibela for its medieval rock-hewn churches, then pair the castles of Gondar with ancient Axum. Up in the Simien Mountains, Limalimo Lodge has floor-to-ceiling windows facing misty peaks and a fire on the terrace come evening. Walled Harar in the east makes a fascinating detour, whilst repeat visitors head south to the Omo Valley, where riverside Lale's Camp keeps you in real comfort for days spent among its traditional communities. Most trips open and close in Addis Ababa, so give Unity Park an afternoon on the way through. History here runs very deep.

Mebratu, who once farmed this same land, still works on the property. Expect a family-run resort with a professional's eye for finish and cleanliness, honest cooking from local produce, and rock-hewn churches, some dating to the 7th century, within close reach.
