Haile Grand Addis Ababa, owned by the renowned athlete Haile Gebrselassie and family (Haile–Alem), stands as one of Ethiopia’s most distinguished luxury destinations. As the eighth property within the celebrated Haile Hotels & Resorts Group, Haile Grand represents the group’s upper upscale category where classic architecture, refined comfort, and modern sophistication blend seamlessly with the brand’s signature Ethiopian warmth.
Perched on a scenic hillside in the capital, the five-star Haile Grand Addis Ababa offers an extraordinary guest experience that combines breathtaking views, thoughtfully designed interiors, and personalized service. From the moment guests arrive, every detail is curated to create an atmosphere of elegance, comfort, and memorable hospitality.
According to Mr. Emishaw Teshome, General Manager of Haile Grand Addis Ababa, entertainment plays an essential role in delivering this premium guest experience. “From the day we opened our doors in October 2022, we’ve been committed to offering our guests the best, not just in comfort and service, but also in entertainment,” he says. “That’s why we partnered with DStv for Business from the very beginning. DStv helps us bring world-class content and variety right into our guests’ rooms.”
Through DStv for Business, the hotel offers an exceptional selection of local and international channels from news, sports, and movies to culture and lifestyle ensuring that every guest, whether visiting for business or leisure, feels at home and well-entertained. “Our guests come from different backgrounds and countries, and DStv enables us to meet those diverse entertainment expectations with ease,” adds Mr. Emishaw.
The collaboration has been smooth and impactful. “We are truly delighted to work with DStv,” the General Manager affirms. “It’s a respected brand with deep roots in Africa’s entertainment industry. Our partnership aligns perfectly with our vision of providing top-tier, personalized experiences. We see this as a long-term relationship that continues to enrich our service and strengthen our commitment to excellence.”
As a constructive recommendation, Mr. Emishaw also encourages DStv to consider more flexible subscription options tailored to the hospitality sector. “We would welcome even more dynamic packages — such as short-term or one-day premium subscriptions, which could be ideal for hotels serving guests with different stay durations or viewing preferences.”
