Leon Key and Misael Amare at Haile Grand Addis Ababa

Misael and I recently decided to spend a few hours relaxing at the Haile Grand Addis Ababa. Located in the heart of the city, this hotel is not just a place to stay but a destination in itself, offering a serene escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Upon arrival, we were immediately struck by the elegance and grandeur of the hotel’s architecture. The courtyard, with its beautiful waterfall, provided a tranquil backdrop, making it a perfect spot to unwind. We found ourselves a cozy spot by the waterfall and decided to indulge in some refreshing drinks.

The weather was perfect – a gentle breeze complemented the warm sun, creating an ideal atmosphere for relaxation. I ordered a mojito. Which turned out to be one of the best I’ve ever had, perfectly balanced and incredibly refreshing. Misael opted for another cocktail and we both agreed that the ambiance and service were top-notch.

As we sipped our drinks, the courtyard’s serene environment allowed us to have a meaningful conversation, free from the usual distractions of daily life. Although Misael had another engagement later that evening, our brief time at Haile Grand was thoroughly enjoyable and provided a much-needed break.
