WORLD CLASS HO- TELS, BARS AND RESTAURANTS AWAIT YOU
Hotel des Milles Collines
Over the past decade, Kigali has witnessed a staggering influx of expatriates, which has facilitated the setting up of world class hotels, bars and restaurants in the city.
The other driver is the fact that Kigali is slowly becoming a regional hub for meetings and conferences, something that has attracted international hotel chains such as Marriott, Serena, Radisson Blu and Park Inn, among others.
New hotels aside, the Hotel des Milles Collines is now one of the swankest in Kigali.
Make sure you check out this historic hotel that was made famous in the 2004 Hollywood movie Hotel Rwanda, the account of one man’ s largerthan-life humanitarian actions when the tide of death swept through Rwanda in 1994 and left an estimated one million Rwandans dead.
When you visit, chances are that you’ ll bump into some local celebrities and high-ranking government officials who frequent this place.
The hotel, which opened for business way back in 1973, boasts several restaurants that serve both local and international dishes, a sprawling swimming pool, and a poolside bar. If you want to spend a night here, there are 117 rooms for you to choose from. Kigali also boasts several high-end bars and nightclubs, most of which are scattered throughout the swanky suburbs of Kimihurura and Nyarutarama.
However, there is fun for everyone in the city – regardless of your social-economic status. The younger, wayward and generally low-income bunch are drawn to hangouts in
Nyamirambo, a suburb that skirts the south-western intersection of Kigali City.
