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.

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.
