Find a hotel in Ethiopia

Book your comfortable hotel in Ethiopia to discover this pearl located on the Horn of Africa. Our establishments in Addis Ababa are the perfect starting point for you to explore the country. You will love the beautiful suites of our hotels near downtown Addis Ababa and you can relax in one of our restaurants or lounge bars after a getaway in the Danakil desert, the base of the active volcano Erta Ale. You will start the climb at dusk to admire the bubbling lava before sleeping at the edge of the crater to see the molten rock at first light. One of our Golden Tulip establishments in Ethiopia offers a fitness room, which is a good way to prepare for your hike in the mountains of Simien National Park!

What is there to do in Ethiopia?

Departing from our hotels in Ethiopia, head towards Gondar and its castles to discover the northern part of the country. Your route will then take you to Debark, a base camp for hikers at Simien National Park. You can visit this must-see spot in Ethiopia on foot or on a mule on circuits of 3 to 10 days. If you want an athletic holiday, you can try out Ras Dashan, the 4th highest peak in Africa. For an experience that will remain etched in your memory, we suggest you borrow a 4x4 to travel the lunar landscapes of the Danakil Desert. The Danakil Depression is a geological site located 270 feet below sea level, from where you can reach the slopes of the Erta Ale volcano. After this so much excitement, head to our hotels near Lalibela for a well-deserved rest.

Top activities in Ethiopia

Our hotels in Addis Ababa are an ideal base for enjoying the best activities in the country. Visit the National Museum of Ethiopia to contemplate the skeleton of Lucy, a 3.2 million-year-old fossil of the Australopithecus species which was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974. To continue your cultural visit, follow in the footsteps of Rimbaud in Harar. When he was 26 years old, the poet fell in love with the fourth holiest city of Islam during his first stay. In the south, you will discover the great lakes of the Rift Valley by boat and set off to meet the animals of Africa at sunset: various species of birds, zebras, wildebeest, and even hippos. Mount Balé National Park will then offer you beautiful surprises, with primates, leopards, lions and the Ethiopian wolf, whose last 300 specimens live here. And to complete your visit to Ethiopia, end your day with a tasting of African specialties in one of our Golden Tulip restaurants.
