About Gondar Landmark Hotel

Sundowners on the terrace offer the best views of Gondar – Ethiopia's royal city
Picture yourself on the balcony of Gondar Landmark Hotel – beneath you lies the sprawl of Gondar, its legendary castle and ruins, its churches, plazas (evidence of Ethiopia's Italian occupation) and, yes, the trappings of modern life. The hotel itself stands imposingly on the city's northern hillsides. The interior may not be quite as remarkable, but Gondar Landmark is certainly a comfortable and convenient base from which to explore the local historical attractions, such as Fasil Ghebbi – said to be the seat of Ethiopian emperors (and a fair amount of discord), and a handful of interesting markets and eateries.

Property details

The property

The Landmark Gondar aims to reach international standards, and truly, it's not too far off. The marble and tinted glass structure is certainly grand. The large dining room looks out to a generous balcony and the city beyond. Softly lit spaces are decently, if somewhat redundantly, furnished. And there's plenty of seating – whether you're in the restaurant or on the casual terrace or outdoor asphalted patio, you'll always find somewhere to sit and take in the views.

The rooms

Rooms range from standard doubles to more spacious suites and family suites. Most look on to the city, while a few have part-city, part-mountain views. Even standard rooms have a large picture window and are furnished with a writing desk. The en-suite bathrooms have showers but no tubs (hot water can be an issue). More sumptuous suites offer rooms to sprawl, with extra beds and sleeper couches.

Activities

Though a shadow of what it once was, the 17th-century castle of Fasil Ghebbi is certainly impressive. The Emperor Fasilides combined architectural influences of Portuguese, Indian and Arabic cultures to create a structure that was both beautiful and indestructible. You'll need to hire a reputable guide to reveal the history of this special place (the hotel can help). Also worth seeing are the Debre Berhan Selassie church and the Royal Baths, and local markets.
