Gondar, Ethiopia

Gondar Plaza Hotel

Where comfort is a priority — a quiet stay in the historic capital of the Ethiopian highlands.

About

A modern home in a city of castles

Gondar Plaza Hotel sits in the heart of Gondar, the seventeenth-century capital of Ethiopia and a UNESCO World Heritage city. Our 25 rooms and friendly team are built around one idea: that travellers should feel rested, looked after, and at home.

Whether you are tracing the Royal Enclosure, photographing the painted ceilings of Debre Berhan Selassie, or trekking out to the Simien Mountains, we are a quiet base to come back to — with a good restaurant, an unhurried coffee shop, and a sunlit terrace.

Restaurant

Open for lunch and dinner. Ethiopian, vegetarian, and international options.
