Tranquil Escape Close to the Airport

Ideally located on one of Kigali’s most charming boulevards, the five-star Kigali Serena Hotel is built around a polished granite atrium, which showcases the very best of Rwandese cultural art. The 148 rooms are presented in typical pan-Africa style and meet international expectations.

Central to the hotel is an extensive lounge offering an up-beat bar area, a more relaxed and intimate piano bar and extensive air-conditioned lounge, which overlooks the landscaped pool. Opening off the lounge, is an open-air terrace with Mediterranean furniture and wide parasols .

The hotel offers the optimum blend of superb cuisine, ultra-fresh locally-sourced ingredients, globally-inspired menus and vibrantly colourful entertainment.  Breakfast, lunch & dinner are served in the Milima Restaurant, one of Kigali’s most popular dining venues, whilst the relaxed & stylish Sokoni Restaurant offers an all-day café-styled service and is renowned for its colourful cocktails, globe-trotting cuisine and vibrant live music. Should you be arriving late in the evening, 24-hour room service is available, featuring an extensive menu offering everything from the classic club sandwich to a delicately-spiced curry.

The hotel also features the stunning ‘Maisha’ Mind Body & Spirit Spa facility – ideal for a post gorilla trek massage or to overcome jetlag. Located just 10 kilometres from Kigali International Airport the Kigali Serena is the ideal start or end point for your safari in Rwanda.

The trip exceeded my expectations and was the best family holiday I have ever had. Our children simply loved it and now I know more about African wildlife than they do about our own farm animals.
