Why we recommend it
Radisson Blu Hotel, Addis Ababa stands in the Kazanchis Business District. It is a modern hotel with 212 rooms and suites, aimed mainly at business travellers but comfortable for leisure guests who want a central base with reliable international standards.
The hotel's restaurant, Verres en Vers, serves French-inspired cuisine, and a lounge bar mixes signature cocktails. One of the most useful features for visitors is the in-house branch of Tomoca, the city's best-known coffee company, which serves Ethiopian coffee and pastries, so you can try a proper macchiato without leaving the building. Breakfast is a buffet.
Rooms are decorated in neutral colours with prints and decorative accents. Features include climate control, a choice of pillows, soundproof double-glazed windows, satellite television, in-room tea and coffee, and free Wi-Fi for up to four devices. All rooms are non-smoking, accessible rooms are available on request, and roll-away beds for children can be added. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 12:00, so ask about luggage storage if you arrive early or leave late.
The Terrace Bar on the roof is an open-air bar with lounge seating and ambient lighting, serving cocktails, wines and light bites and grills, and it is open daily from early morning until 22:30, which makes it a good place to unwind after meetings or to meet friends. It can also be booked for private events. Wellness facilities include a fitness centre and the Rainforest Day Spa for treatments.
The hotel is about six kilometres from Bole International Airport via Airport Road, a short drive outside peak hours. It suits business travellers with meetings in Kazanchis or the nearby offices, as well as couples and solo travellers who want a mid-to-upper range hotel with a good bar.
Kazanchis is also the historic home of Fendika, the cultural centre that grew from one of the area's many traditional azmari music houses, which is now operating at the Hyatt Regency while plans to rebuild its original site are discussed. From the hotel, Meskel Square and its museums are a short drive away, and Bole's restaurants and cafes are also within easy reach by taxi or ride-hailing car.
