The hotel will be the first Radisson branded hotel and the Group’s fourth hotel in the country, bringing Radisson Hotel Group’s African portfolio to almost 100 hotels in operation and under development.

The Radisson Hotel Bahir Dar will be located on the shores of Lake Tana, Ethiopia’s largest lake which has been nominated an UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, just 8km from the International Airport.

The city is home to some of the world’s oldest monasteries and churches, and the hotel will sit just 25km from Tis Abbai Falls, one of Ethiopia’s best-known tourist attractions.

Bahir Dar serves as the capital of the Amhara region in Ethiopia and is a well-known, memorable city to the north of the country. Tourists are drawn to Bahir Dar from around the world.

Bahir Dar is set to become a key MICE destination and the Radisson Hotel Bahir Dar will be crafted to become the ideal choice for international travellers and locals looking for event spaces.

The expansive 1140sqm meeting and events area will set the hotel apart from the rest. It will host 6 meeting rooms and a sub-divisible ballroom, making it the ideal space to host business and leisure functions.
