Overview
Kigali's Convention Address
Home to Rwanda's largest convention centre, the Radisson Blu sits five kilometres from Kigali city centre — the country's most established address for business and leisure alike.
Opened in 2016 in a joint venture between the Rwandan government and private investors, the Radisson Blu Hotel & Convention Centre pairs a distinctive golden dome — inspired by traditional Rwandan huts — with banded facades that echo local basketwork. The adjoining Kigali Convention Centre spans 32,200 square metres, with 18 meeting rooms and an auditorium seating up to 2,600, making the hotel Rwanda's default base for conferences and summits. Its 292 rooms and suites are finished in calm, earth-toned interiors, each with a private balcony over the city or the convention centre's landmark silhouette.
