About Us

Since 2018

Olive Hotel and Spa in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, opened its doors in 2018, positioning itself as a premium destination for both relaxation and exploration in the region. In its early years, the hotel enjoyed a growing reputation among tourists drawn to the nearby attractions of Lake Tana and the Blue Nile Falls.
However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 impacted the hospitality sector globally, leading to reduced tourist arrivals and necessitating adaptations in health and safety measures. During this period, Olive Hotel and Spa shifted its focus towards domestic guests and enhancing its spa services to cater to local preferences for staycations and wellness retreats.
As the world began to recover in 2021, the hotel gradually resumed its operations at full capacity, re-attracting international tourists. Emphasizing its unique offerings, such as culturally inspired spa treatments and eco-friendly practices, Olive Hotel and Spa has continued to strengthen its position as a leading hospitality venue in Bahir Dar, thriving on a blend of local tradition and modern luxury.
