Located in the capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian Skylight Hotel spans around 200 metres – the average length of two football pitches.
Only a five-minute walk from the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, business and leisure travellers alike are bound to appreciate the ease of commute once they are on African soil.
The five-star hotel boasts thousands of guest suites, 17 food and beverage outlets, and the largest ballroom in the capital.
Dining experiences range from Ethiopian, Italian, Arabian and Asian cuisines to be enjoyed in luxurious restaurants, laid-back all-day eateries, and tea rooms.
Guests can enjoy a panoramic view of the city while sipping on hand-crafted cocktails and dancing the night away in one of the music bars.
Amenities include a fully equipped gym, outdoor and indoor swimming pools, sauna, steam, and Serenity Spa. On Tripadvisor, the Ethiopian Skylight Hotel scored highly on hospitality, cleanliness, and location.
The latest reviewer, Erez, said: “I’ve been in many hotels all over, but this place is nicer then most.”
Another guest described their business trip as “amazing” thanks to the “experience at the African Hub Restaurant, made even more special by the warm and professional service”.
The reviewer elaborated: “A special shoutout to Bisrat, whose attentiveness and kindness truly elevated the experience.
“Her dedication to ensuring every detail was perfect made my breakfast nothing short of exquisite. It’s rare to find someone so committed to making guests feel valued and cared for.”
While most of the reviews were glowing, one disgruntled guest complained about the internet connectivity and received a wake-up call “four hours before [his] flight”.
Hot on the heels of the Ethiopian Skylight Hotel is Rock City Hotel, which is set to become even larger in magnitude. “Our expansion is ongoing, and when completed, Rock City will be Africa’s and one of the world’s largest hotel resorts,” the website reads.
Located in the picturesque Kwahu-Nkwatia in Ghana, there is plenty to do for active adventure lovers. Nearby, guests can enjoy biking and hiking on Kwahu’s trails, caves, peaks, waterfalls and camping sites.
