Heaven Boutique Hotel

Heaven Hotel is a true home away from home experience located in a quiet neighbourhood within Kigali’s city centre, about a 15-minute drive from the airport. More than a restaurant and hotel, the owners, Alissa and Josh Ruxin, have made Heaven a social enterprise and are setting a national standard for service excellence and food quality.

The Heaven Hotel interior showcases Rwandan arts and crafts that support artisan cooperatives throughout the country. Heaven's layout is unorthodox yet appealing; the accommodation is spread across three buildings with most of the rooms in the main villa, seven rooms in the garden chalet and three rooms by the restaurant. The size and styles of the rooms vary but all have comfortable, quality furnishings and well-appointed, en-suite bathrooms. All the rooms have Wi-Fi, TVs and fans. The hotel’s tropical garden, grand umuvumu trees and shaded seating areas provide the perfect place for relaxing while watching the bustling city. The restaurant is seen by locals and visitors alike as one of Rwanda’s top restaurants thanks to its warm ambience, attentive service, quality food, refreshing cocktails, and expansive views of Kigali from its outdoor terrace. The restaurant serves international cuisine with local Rwandan and African flavours.

The Heaven Hotel retreat features a state-of-the-art gym, solar-heated salt-water pool, yoga classes, traditional Intore dance lessons and a spa with beauty and massage treatments, whirlpool and sauna. Activities you can enjoy in this area include horse riding or mountain biking on Mount Kigali, visiting Question Coffee with a “crop to cup” experience, a day visit to Lake Kivu among much else.
