A project of famed distance runner Haile Gebrselassie, this lakeside place on the Addis-side of town is a tasteful, art-filled international-standard hotel. There are plenty of extras, like tennis courts, spa, gym, swimming pool, banking facilities and ATMs, plus top-notch dining. Paying extra for a lake view is well worth it. Boat trips can be arranged (from Birr500).
