Fodor's Expert Review Hotel des Milles Collines
2KN 6th Ave., Kigali, Rwanda
Many international brands have burst onto the Kigali hotel scene in recent years, but this independent, Rwandan-owned hotel still holds its own. Its city location, beautiful outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, and Thursday live music nights attract many; others are drawn to learn of the hotel’s role in sheltering refugees during the 1994 genocide. A new spa and gym, and room refurbishments are underway. Book in advance and a pianist will serenade you during dinner in the fourth-floor Panorama Restaurant.
PROS
- central location with great city views on tree-lined street
- one of Kigali's only independently owned hotels
- complimentary evening entertainment
CONS
- rooms are small compared to those at more modern hotels
- noisy a/c in some rooms
- renovations are protracted
