Curator’s statement
While visiting a friend, I did a site inspection at Hyatt Regency Addis Ababa, one of our preferred partners. I recommend a stay here on your way out of Ethiopia, or a long flight layover while exploring the city, which I highly encourage if you have time. Hyatt Addis Ababa has a wonderful, friendly staff that is friendly. The hospitality of Ethiopians in general adds a perk, and the nice layout of the clean and modern ambience is topped with a nice view of downtown from your balcony or pool area with the mountain in the background makes it ideal to stay. It is centrally located just 15 minutes from Bole International Airport and is located on Meskel Square.
