Location

The hotel is in the very heart of Addis Ababa, approximately 7 km from the massive and ornate Holy Trinity Cathedral and approximately 8 km from Addis Ababa Museum. Bora Amusement Park, around 5 minutes' drive away, is definitely a must-see for family tourists in Addis Ababa.

The nearby notable religious buildings include the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Medhane Alem Cathedral, 2.1 km from the Ethiopian Skylight Addis Ababa.

Leisure & Business

The Ethiopian Skylight features a swimming pool as well as a treatment room, a Jacuzzi, a sauna, and a foot bath. This Addis Ababa hotel offers its guests the opportunity to enjoy fitness classes at a fitness room located on the premises.

“This hotel impresses with its proximity to Bole International Airport, a mere stone's throw away. Wellness is a focus here, with extensive spa services and both indoor and outdoor pools. I think the cultural dining experience, notably the Ethiopian Ta'em, deserves special mention, and the family-friendly amenities make this a solid choice for those traveling with children.”
