Hôtel des Mille Collines is one of Rwanda’s most iconic hotels, nestled in the heart of Kigali’s central business district. Opened in 1973, it has been a landmark of hospitality in the city for decades and is famously known as the setting of the film Hotel Rwanda due to its role during the 1994 genocide. Today, the hotel blends historical significance with modern amenities, offering guests comfortable and spacious accommodation with panoramic views over Kigali’s rolling hills.
The property features 112 rooms and suites ranging from classic city-view rooms to larger junior and superior suites, all equipped with air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, in-room safes, and private bathrooms. Many rooms include a balcony with scenic views, while the suites offer additional living space and comfort. Communal facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, tennis courts, and multiple dining venues, making it suitable for both leisure and business travellers.
Dining at the hotel is varied and vibrant, with several restaurants and bars: La Terrasse serves hearty breakfasts and brunches, Le Panorama offers fine dining with impressive city views, and the Pool Bar provides lighter meals and drinks in a relaxed setting beside the pool. Guests can also enjoy cultural nights with live music and experiences that highlight Rwandan art, music, and cuisine, adding a memorable local flavour to their stay.
