O
pened in July last year,
Tropitel-Gitega Hotel is a
paradise of luxury right at the
edge of Gitega, Burundi’s second city.
The hewn-stone facade of the hotel
and its sprawling architecture feels
modern and welcoming at the same
time.
A mere three minutes walk from
the National Museum and in driving
distance of Gishuha hot water springs,
Gishora drum sites, and Kirera falls,
Tropitel-Gitega hotel is the ideal

launching pad for all your travels in
Gitega town.
What makes Tropitel tick
The hotel has 24 rooms (4 suites, 20
Standard rooms) at really attractive
rates especially considering that it is
such a high class hotel.
If you just want to relax, the hotel
has a standard restaurant that offers
a variety of both local and exotic
dishes. It also has a well-stocked bar,
a fairly-equipped gym room with basic
workout equipment and a medium
sized swimming pool that is free to use
