Hotel des Mille Collines

Hotel des Mille Collines is set in Rwanda’s capital city. It is a four-star international hotel with 112 rooms, set in large gardens in downtown Kigali. The hotel gained much of its notoriety from its role within the feature film, Hotel Rwanda. As within the film, the hotel attracts a distinctly business clientele; however, its presence in the city centre means that it is a good base from which tourists can explore.

Each of the Mille Collines’ rooms have private bathrooms, satellite televisions, PC hook-ups, and most of the standard hotel amenities. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and, while not being luxurious, they offer a great base to investigate the city or for a comfortable overnight stop.

The hotel also has a large swimming pool and a fitness suite, but these added luxuries will only be a minor distraction from the markets and interesting sights of the city. There is also a restaurant offering French and international cuisine, and two bars offering local products as well as international drinks in the cocktail lounge.
