Hôtel des Mille Collines is Kigali’s best-known hotel: a four-star address set in a large tropical garden in the heart of the city. Its name means “the thousand hills”, and its top-floor restaurant looks out over exactly that.
Rooms at Hôtel des Mille Collines
The hotel has 112 rooms and executive suites, all with balconies. Rooms are comfortable and well equipped, with air conditioning, wireless internet, a flat-screen television and a minibar.
Eating and drinking
Le Panorama, the restaurant on the top floor, serves international food with wide views across Kigali’s hills. Downstairs, the pool bar is a daily meeting place for local residents and international travellers, and a relaxing spot after a long drive.
Meetings and events
Four fully equipped meeting and conference rooms make the hotel a popular choice for business travellers, workshops and private events. The hotel can prepare a tailor-made quote for meetings and parties.
Location
The hotel is in central Kigali, close to restaurants, banks and the city’s main sights. It is about 20 to 25 minutes by car from our office on KN5 Airport Road, depending on traffic, and a good base for visiting the Kigali Genocide Memorial and the city’s markets.
A place in Rwanda’s history
The Mille Collines is known around the world for its role during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, when it sheltered more than a thousand people. Many visitors come to see it for this reason; please be respectful.
Visiting the pool bar
Even if you’re staying elsewhere, the pool bar is a pleasant place for a drink in central Kigali.
