The Hotel des Milles Collines is best known as the hotel in which more than 1,000 people took refuge during the Rwandan genocide of 1994, an event portrayed in the feature film Hotel Rwanda (2004). At peace now, the Hotel des Milles Collines stands as Rwanda's premier hotel and resort. The hotel features all the amenities one would expect from a top-end establishment, including an exquisite restaurant and bar, as well as a swimming pool, fitness room and tennis court. The Hotel des Milles Collines is beautifully and conveniently situated in a large exotic garden in downtown Kigali.
