ECA Conference Center Ethiopia Transfers

At the heart of Ethiopia’s capital city of Addis Ababa, the Africa Hall and ECA Conference Center is a large complex that’s part government agency, part private contractors for events and conferences. As the official headquarters for the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, guests can expect high security upon entrance, as well as a stately ambiance that includes stained glass portraits of Kenyan history. An atrium-lit foyer brightens up multiple floors of space in the venue, while a massive rotunda-shaped plenary hall is ideal for large conferences and seminars, among five other uniquely designed halls. Also adjacent from the venue are a chain of tranquil urban parks and a few upscale hotels perfect for professionals looking for a good balance of focus and adventure. For easy transfers across town and toward the Airport, utilize the nearby Stadium/Meskel Square Light Rail Station, or consider a handful of private vehicle rentals that include spacious SUVs and chartered buses ideal for group trips or small sedans best suited for solo travelers. Meet-and-greet services can cover the necessities for out-of-towners as well, whether it be through taxi lifts to Bole International Airport or local personal drivers who can showcase the serious beauty of the region.

Endure the day with ease by not only living in the moment but waking up in scenic surroundings. The best way to do so through one of many upscale hotels surrounding the venue, from the custom headboards and airy hardwood floors of Aphrodite International Hotel to Jupiter International’s high-rise lobby adorned with chandeliers and earth-tone lounges - western friendly options include the Hilton Addis Ababa, home to a stunning geothermal pool and mountain vistas, while the Radisson Blu Addis Ababa provides an on-site luxury spa paired with breakfast in an executive lounge. As the day winds down, search for fun with modest strolls across the urban lawns of Ethiopia Park, located west of the venue and offering connected paths to the Addis Ababa Park and Africa Park, swanky restaurants perfect for grabbing a bite for post-event talks including the locally beloved Ethiopian at Moyo's Cafe as well as local dinner-theater from Yod Abyssinia Traditional Restaurant.
