While building up First Class, Environmentally Friendly Facilities that cater for the needs of national and international tourists, the Ankober Palace Lodge is committed to strengthening local communities and empowering the individuals within them. Local artisans were trained and hired to carry out skilled work of rebuilding the former palace in the same traditional style as the original.
