Heaven Boutique Hotel

A boutique hotel in the centre of Rwanda's capital city
KigaliRwanda· 28 Rooms · ££

With an excellent restaurant serving local and international cuisine

A luxury retreat, hotel and restaurant – a great place to stay in Kigali

Location: Heaven Boutique Hotel is tucked into a peaceful, leafy corner of central Kigali, just a short stroll form the city's main restaurants, galleries, and markets. Set on a quiet residential road in Kiyovu, one of Kigali's most historic and walkable neighbourhoods, it offers easy access to the city's highlights while feeling calm and secluded. Whether you are arriving for your first night in Rwanda or winding down at the end of a trip, it's a friendly and convenient base.

Rooms: Spread across two adjoining properties, Heaven Boutique Hotel has 28 rooms in total, each with its own character. Rooms are simple but thoughtfully designed, with bright African fabrics, hand-crafted furnishings, and plenty of natural light. Most have garden or pool views, air-conditioning, and private terraces or balconies. The larger apartments offer kitchenettes and extra space, making them a great option for families or longer stays. While it's not luxurious, the focus is on comfort, cleanliness, and style with a local twist.

Amenities: Being in Kigali, the focus here is more cultural than adventurous, but there is plenty to explore. The Kigali Genocide Memorial, Inema Arts Centre, and Kimironko Market are all within easy reach by car, and the hotel's concierge can arrange guided city tours, museum visits, or local cooking classes. If you have just come from the national parks, it is a lovely place to relax and reflect - though equally well-suited to curious travellers keen to dive into Rwanda's vibrant capital.

Sustainability: Heaven Boutique Hotel has long championed responsible tourism and community upliftment. The hotel was founded with the mission of providing training and employment to local staff, and many of its current team have come through its on-site hospitality training programme. Furniture is made by local artisans, and produce is sourced from nearby growers. There is a strong focus on ethical employment, low-impact operations, and long-term sustainability - all of which adds purpose to stay without compromising on comfort.
