Rwanda

Hotel des Mille Collines

PLAN MY TRIP

Originally the first grand hotel in Rwanda now made famous by Hollywood as the Hotel Rwanda, the Hotel Des Mille Collines is a modern, four-star property with stunning views over the hills of Kigali.

There are a range of different accommodations available at the hotel. Classic city view rooms have balconies with spectacular views of the Kigali skyline. The classic garden view rooms offer a relaxing view of the garden and pools. The classic panorama view room has sweeping 180-degree views of the city. The junior and superior suites have separate bedroom and living facilities as well as work areas. The rooms feature a flat screen T.V. and complimentary Wi-Fi. Other amenities include Nespresso machine and an in-room safe.

Originally built by the Belgian airline Sabena, the Hotel Des Mille Collines became internationally famous after 1,268 people took refuge inside the building during the Rwandan Genocide of 1994. The heroic, former employee Paul Rusesabagina protected the Hutu and Tutsi refugees from harm by the militia. Now this luxury hotel in the heart of the central business district is known as the place to be for its lovely rooms, attentive service, and best panoramic views in town.

Straddling several ridges and valleys, Kigali, with its lush, green hillsides, flowering trees, winding boulevards, and bustling streets, is one of the most attractive capital cities in Africa, as well as easily one of the cleanest and safest. Rising above the sobering reality of the 1994 genocide, Kigali has rebuilt itself to be an exciting and cosmopolitan city. Guests of the hotel can take in the sights. The privately run Inema Art Center is an excellent modern art gallery with ten resident artists. The Kigali Genocide Museum pays tribute to the estimated 250,000 people buried in mass graves and is a profoundly moving experience. The Museum of Natural History owned by explorer Richard Kandt is reputed to be the oldest building in Kigali. The hotel is also the perfect launching place for going further afield and taking in the sights of Akagera National Park, Volcanoes National Park, and Lake Kivu.

The Hotel Des Mille Collines offers two excellent restaurants and a bar. Guests can indulge in a wide variety of fresh breads, savory patisseries, hearty cold cuts and cheese selections, and fresh fruits at La Terrasse. Le Panorama is ideal for a romantic dinner for two with breathtaking views of rolling hills and the twinkling lights of Kigali. Drinks and snacks can also be enjoyed poolside. A relaxing massage can be had at the pool Massage Gazebo.
