Hilton Addis Ababa Thermal Pool
The Hilton's famous cross-shaped outdoor pool is heated by the Filwoha thermal springs that run beneath this part of the city, keeping it warm year-round even in Addis's chilly evenings. Non-guests can buy day access to the pool, gym and gardens — a classic Addis recovery day after long travel.
☀️ Local tip
Weekday day-passes are easier to get than weekends; the adjacent Filwoha area's public hot baths are the budget alternative.
