History
Haile Hotels and Resorts: from a single property in Hawassa to a rising national chain.
Haile Hotels and Resorts began in Hawassa in 2010 as a four-star property anchored in local character and modern standards. Over the subsequent decade the brand expanded thoughtfully, opening properties that balance design, comfort and cultural sensitivity.
Today we operate eight active destinations across Ethiopia: Hawassa (our pioneer), Arba Minch, Adama, Gondar, Batu-Ziway, Yaya-Athletics Village (Sululta), Haile Grand Addis Ababa (flagship 5-star), and other strategic locations in development. Some sites are being modernized or temporarily offline as part of an operational optimization program focused on service quality and safety.
Our trajectory is deliberately phased: each new property is selected and operated to preserve the brand promise — location advantage, guest comfort, design integrity, and community integration.
All in one service built by "ይቻላል"(It is possible)
