Yeha Hotel Axum

Yeha Hotel is perched on a small bluff overlooking Aksum’s northern stelae and the Mary of Zion churches, and is in within close proximity to the historic Obelisk of Axum. It boasts the best location in the city, providing ideal access to the landmarks along this stop on the Historical Circuit.

Each of the 63 rooms and suites features exposed stone walls, burgundy rugs, embroidered bedding and en suite bathrooms, while outside the greenery and resident monkeys offer a taste of Ethiopian authenticity.

The Panorama restaurant is a 20-table establishment led by one of the few French chefs in Addis Ababa where guests can dine on European cuisine amid locally inspired architecture. After dinner, retreat to the attached terrace for views of Axum’s monuments, bathing pool and monastery, or head to the charming fully stocked bar for lively post-dinner drinks.

Away from the hotel, guests can explore the Great Stella in Axum Town which is one of the landmarks of the great civilizations of the Axumite Kingdom.
