The Hilton turned out to be an especially good choice in that there is a reliable group of prostitutes who work the hotel and are accepted by the hotel staff. I pulled 5 girls from the hotel bar and lobby. I also brought in two girls from other locations, and had no problem. The hotel staff's position seems to be "don't ask, don't tell."

At the Hilton, you will find a few girls showing up beginning around 5 pm, although this seemed to vary a bit from night to night. They mainly gather in the lobby bar (to the back, right-hand side of the lobby), and sit either singly or in twos. There's no mistaking the pros. Just look towards any of the women sitting alone or in twos. The pros will meet your gaze and give you a big smile. Some pros also sit in the seating in the lobby itself, near the elevators. Again, just look over at any of the young women sitting in the seating there. If they look back and smile, you've found a pro. I was in the elevator one evening, waiting for the door to close. I looked out and smiled at a young woman sitting just across from elevators. She smiled and signaled, asking whether I wanted her to get into the elevator. It’s that simple.

Standard rate for a session (1-2 hours, but make this clear, because they will want to leave after 1 pop if you don't set your terms) is 500 Birr (or about $55), with no tip expected. This is higher than the pros in almost all other locations, but the Hilton is sort of the top end venue for hookers in Addis, so the higher prices are not surprising. And I found the girls ate the Hilton to be more attractive than most found in other locations.

My sessions with these girls were uniformly mediocre. Blowjobs (covered or not) are virtually unheard of. Sex was pretty standard, with nothing out of the ordinary. The girls were willing to try lots of positions, but almost never took the initiative. On the other hand, many of them were drop-dead gorgeous. The facial features of many of the women were stunning, with beautiful almond-shaped eyes, full lips, and straight noses. Unfortunately, Ethiopian prostitutes tend not to be especially affectionate, and kissing is almost always tame by the standards I am used to in many other places.

The good news is that the girls were generally compliant and didn't try to skip out after the first pop. I didn't try to negotiate any all-nighters at the Hilton, but it was clear that all-nighters are generally not available.
