Lewi Resort

This sprawling place serves four-star luxury in a completely Ethiopian way – think dated design and uninspiring architecture. There’s a large variety of rooms, from the basic ‘garden view’ to the tacky bungalows with circular beds. The main selling point is the forested lakeside setting. Amenities include two restaurants (mains Birr50 to Birr120), a gym, a pool and a playground for kids.
