Aleph Hospitality has announced that it has added four new hotels in Ethiopia to its portfolio as it further expands in the region. In 2024, Aleph Hospitality added 13 new hotels to its portfolio and now has over 30 hotels across the Middle East and Africa.
The new additions to Aleph Hospitality’s portfolio in Ethiopia include:
1. The Elilly International Hotel, a five-star city hotel located in Addis Ababa’s Kazanchis business district, just a two-minute walk from the United Nations Conference Centre and four kilometres from Bole International Airport. The hotel features 154 suites, four food & beverage outlets, a gym, sauna, steam rooms, and swimming pool as well as conference facilities.
2. The Elilly Bishoftu, currently under construction, is a four-star upscale resort which will be internationally branded. Located on the serene shores of Bishoftu Guda Lake, the resort will feature 172 keys, four food & beverage outlets, a spa, pool, gaming zone, and conference facilities. The resort is a one-hour drive from Bole Addis Ababa International Airport and less than 30 minutes from the newly planned mega airport in Bishoftu, which is set to open in 2029 with a capacity of 110 million passengers.
3. Aleph Hospitality will be managing two new internationally branded upper-midscale hotels which are currently under development by the owners of the Ramada by Wyndham Addis Ababa, also operated by Aleph Hospitality. Scheduled to open in 2026, the properties will feature 100 rooms in Addis Ababa and 128 rooms in Bishoftu.
