Hôtel des Mille Collines

Hôtel des Mille Collines, a vibrant and historic city hotel, offers families a comfortable base in the heart of Kigali

The iconic hotel boasts a rich history, such as its role in providing a sanctuary for over 2000 people during the 1994 genocide – an event portrayed in the well known film ‘Hotel Rwanda’.  The hotel seamlessly blends this sense of Kigali’s past with modern amenities and world-class service, creating a luxurious yet down to earth experience. The 112 rooms, ranging from classic rooms to spacious suites, all offer stunning views over the city’s many hills and feature African design notes. 

Families can unwind by the pool, indulge in live jazz on weekends, or explore the hotel’s relaxing gardens. Dining is a treat, whether you’re enjoying all-day meals at La Terrasse or a romantic evening at Le Panorama with panoramic views of Kigali. For those seeking something more laid-back, the Pool Bar serves light meals and drinks throughout the day.

When it’s time to venture out, the hotel’s central location makes it easy to visit Kigali’s many attractions. A short drive brings you to the Genocide Memorial & Museum, a must-see for history enthusiasts, while the bustling City Market offers a taste of local life. Whether you’re here for relaxation or to explore the city, Hôtel des Mille Collines provides a welcoming retreat for all.
