Elilly International Hotel

What Elilly International Hotel does

Elilly International Hotel is a privately held, five-star hotel operating twin towers on Guinea Conakry Street in the Kazanchis business district of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, roughly 3.8 KM from Bole International Airport and directly adjacent to the main entrance of the United Nations Conference Center (UNCC). The property was brought to market following more than four years of construction and pre-opening development and has been in operation for approximately ten years as of 2026; it is recognized with a five-star rating by both the UNWTO and the Ethiopian Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Elilly runs an integrated hospitality platform spanning five accommodation categories (Standard Single at 16 sqm / $80, King Size Room at 40 sqm / $80, Twin Room at 21 sqm / $100, Junior Suite at 38 sqm / $120, and Executive Suite at 72 sqm / $120 — all per person per night and inclusive of 15% VAT and 10% service charge), six F&B outlets (Sun Never Set 24/7 Restaurant, VIP Restaurant, Elilly Sky Lounge on the 10th floor, UNISON Pool Bar, Cozy Bar, and Culture Coffee Area), the Elilly SPA plus fitness center and open-air heated swimming pool, and four meeting/event halls (Gada, Pan-African, Green, and Board Room) supporting corporate conferences and wedding/social events.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer model with no disclosed OTA or third-party travel agency partnerships; bookings flow through its own website (elillyhotel.com) with PayPal and major credit card processing, phone reservations, and walk-in business, augmented by a Member Rate loyalty program offering up to 10% off. Revenue is generated across four primary streams — room accommodation (unit pricing per night), food and beverage (transactional across six venues), meeting and event rental (one-time venue/license fees for corporate and social events including weddings), and spa/wellness services (pay-as-you-go with annual member program). Customer segments prioritize business travelers and international organizations/government delegations anchored at the adjacent UN Conference Center (e.g., the WHO Regional Committee for Africa RC76 scheduled for August 2026), followed by families and leisure travelers, with secondary segments in wedding/social event hosts and extended-stay guests.

Technology is non-proprietary and explicitly undisclosed; the property does not describe any AI/ML capability, in-house platform, or data flywheel, and integrates only with PayPal and standard card networks for payments. The company employs approximately 57 people across the integrated operation, with no disclosed funding, parent entity, or expansion plans beyond continued operational enhancement of its single Addis Ababa property.
