The Golden Tulip occupies a city block near the heart of Addis Ababa's business district, close to several diplomatic embassies and a kilometre from Bole International Airport. Classy and modern, the hotel's facilities are freshly minted and extremely well constructed. Designed to serve international and business travellers, it contains several convenient amenities for business and leisure: a handful of restaurants and bars, a gym, a 24-hour shuttle service and a top-notch concierge service. This is the kind of place you don't have to second-guess.




The 90 rooms, furnished with dark wood and rich reds and creams, have a regal air. Seventy Deluxe Rooms sleep two guests comfortably (with an optional convertible sofa for two kids). They have spacious en-suite bathrooms with showers and a double basin. The 15 Executive rooms offer more space and king-sized beds. The top-rated Diplomatic Suites are set on a corner with large bay windows, a spacious lounge and a deep bathtub. Wi-fi, aircon, and satellite TVs are standard.
