Inauguration of Historic Palace Renovation Marks a New Era of Heritage and Well-being in Ethiopia
In a momentous event attended by President Emmanuel Macron, ambassadors, and esteemed government officials, the grand inauguration of the renovated historic palace took place, symbolizing a new chapter in Ethiopia’s cultural and architectural landscape. This ambitious renovation project not only revives the rich heritage of the palace but also introduces a state-of-the-art Spa and Wellness Center, an integral part of the compound.
Spanning an impressive 14,500 square meters, the spa project offers a diverse range of facilities aimed at fostering health, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Its key features include a luxurious spa, a modern gym, a meditation center, a sports center, an outdoor pool, and thoughtfully designed landscapes and walkways that harmonize with the palace’s historic ambiance.
MINAB-WELLNESS & SPA is an aspiring and progressive project that aims to create a premier luxury spa in the capital. With a focus on architectural design, the goal is to meticulously plan and develop the spa’s space, ensuring its functionality, safety, and aesthetic appeal. The project seeks to establish a distinctive wellness center that pays tribute to Filwuha, the first public bath ever established in the city. This vision emphasizes the importance of accurately representing Addis Ababa’s famous natural hot springs, offering visitors a rejuvenating and relaxing experience.
Guests will have the opportunity to indulge in various therapeutic treatments and activities that harness the healing properties of natural hot springs, promoting both physical and mental well-being. The spa is designed to provide a comprehensive relaxation experience, featuring treatment rooms for various therapeutic services, resting areas, a steam room, and a sauna to enhance relaxation. Additionally, the center includes spring treatments, a gymnasium, and a beauty salon for personal grooming and pampering. On the first floor, guests can enjoy a VIP indoor swimming pool, offering an exclusive space for leisure and relaxation.
This combination of amenities ensures that visitors can indulge in a holistic wellness experience tailored to their needs. The Prime Minister’s Office has emphasized the significance of this collaboration, describing it as not just an act of goodwill but as a catalyst for broader economic and cultural progress.
This remarkable project stands as a testament to the power of international cooperation in blending historical preservation with modern innovation, creating a space where history, luxury, and wellness converge seamlessly.
