Our take
This hotel is ideal for travellers seeking a central base in Addis Ababa, particularly those with business at the United Nations Compound or who want easy access to the city's core. The inclusion of a jacuzzi adds a welcome touch for relaxation after a day of meetings or exploring. While it offers a comfortable and convenient stay, those looking for a more boutique or culturally immersive experience might consider other options, as this is a standard international hotel brand.
- ✓Take advantage of the Super Breakfast buffet to fuel up before a day of city exploration or meetings.
- ✓Consider dining at Verres en Vers for a taste of French-inspired cuisine in the city center.
- ✓Unwind in the jacuzzi after a busy day; it's a great way to relax and recharge.

Why guests love itWith 212 rooms and a location close to the United Nations Compound, the Radisson Blu is built around Addis Ababa's real diplomatic and NGO traffic rather than leisure tourism. Individual climate control matters more here than in most cities given the altitude's cool evenings, and the French-inspired restaurant plus lounge bar suit a clientele used to international menus. A jacuzzi and the well-reviewed Super Breakfast buffet round out the stay. At 8.7 from 544 reviews, it's a consistently strong, business-oriented choice.
