About Capital Hotel & Spa

Tip-top service and irresistible coffee in Ethiopia's pulsing city centre

Entering the palatial lobby of this international-grade hotel is like walking into a province of calm and competence. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital, is a beguiling city, but it's an energetic one, so it's good to escape the throngs. The staff at Capital Hotel & Spa, in the city's heart, will soon make you comfortable with their expert service and know-how. This is an ideal stopover if you're en route to the country's ruins and other archaeological delights, or heading for the dramatic landscapes of the highlands.

Property details

The property

The large, open mezzanine area offers plenty of seating and super-fast wi-fi. The hotel's restaurant serves a complimentary breakfast buffet and coffee, and an à la carte menu and buffet throughout the day. Feel like a sweet pick-me-up? Head to the City Stop Pastry Shop for its globally inspired goodies and coffee. Colourful cocktails are served at the chilled-out Skyline Bar and Lounge, overlooking downtown Addis. There's an on-site spa with steam rooms and Moroccan baths, and a state-of-the-art gym.

The rooms

All rooms have good-quality furnishings with either twin or king-sized beds and varying degrees of space. The largest are the suites, which have a lounge and adjoining room. Next, the studios also enjoy a bit more elbow room, though have just one bedroom. En-suite bathrooms with Jacuzzi bathtubs, wi-fi access and mini-bars are standard. Some rooms have private balconies, for a bird's-eye view of the city. ().

Activities

Life in Addis is uniquely Ethiopian. And it's mesmerising. In the country where, legend has it, coffee was invented, you need to experience the coffee ceremony to get in touch with the culture. From a simple brew to espresso, and the deliciously addictive Ethiopian version of a macchiato – you won't be disappointed. There are restaurants, food stalls and coffee shops aplenty. Arts, dancing and history lie on the doorstep – the concierge will point you towards the best.

Why we love it

The service really cannot be faulted at this top-tier hotel and your comfort is always of the highest priority.

Insiders Tip

We would definitely take advantage of the shuttle service between hotel and airport; it sure makes negotiating the city's riot of taxis and hagglers a breeze.

Something to think about

If you're noise-intolerant, ask for a room facing away from the buzz of the city – you can thank us later.
