About this place Park Inn by Radisson Kigali

Park Inn by Radisson Kigali is a mainstream international chain hotel in Kiyovu, the leafy residential and embassy district on the hill just above Kigali's city centre. It is a business-and-leisure hotel, not a gay venue, and is tagged gay-friendly only in the general sense of a large international brand. Reviews are strong (around 4.6 from roughly 1,900 on Google), and the location is convenient for the city centre and government offices. Same-sex relations are not criminalised in Rwanda, but there is no visible gay scene and public affection is uncommon, so most LGBTQ+ travellers keep a low profile. Book through the Radisson website or by phone on 0788 132 500.
