Ethiopian Skylight In-Terminal Hotel has 97 tranquil rooms in five categories, each featuring modern essentials for a seamless stay and a Skylight Suite has additional space with a living or dining area, the
airline said.
According to the airline, THE HUB RESTAURANT is located between both room wings above concourse “B.” Guest must have an international departure flight from Terminal 2 only.
