Gondar Hills Resort

Perched high on the hillside with panoramic views of the historic town of Gondar, as well as the surrounding countryside, Gondar Hills Resort is a new and modern hotel, a great indication of the modernisation and innovation that is coming to Ethiopia’s accommodation scene.

At 72 rooms it is a large property by the country’s usual standards, but the rooms are well spread through the large footprint of the hotel so guests never feel like the property is overly busy, even when it is full. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable, with floor to ceiling glass doors to maximise the views out across the city and shaded terraces at the front which are perfect for relaxation. Within the main area there is a lounge, bar and dining room which leads out on to a spacious terrace where guests can enjoy alfresco meals when the weather allows. There is always a warm and friendly atmosphere to stays here, with guests convening in the bar to chat about their days exploring Ethiopia.

With the castles and churches of Gondar just a short drive away, this hotel is the perfect base for exploring the town before returning to the most spacious and luxurious hotel that it has to offer. A great choice and one that we heartily recommend.
