The hotel is situated in a quiet but growing town called Dukem, about 10km outside of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. Since its inception, the hotel has attracted a diverse range of world-travellers, many of whom return year after year. We mainly cater for international tourists who want to see life outside of Addis Ababa in comfortable surroundings, and our three restaurants have a variety of food to cater for everyone.
