In 1994, during the 3-month campaign of genocide in Rwanda, tens of thousands of people sought refuge in churches and hotels around the country. In the capital city of Kigali, up to a thousand of those people were at the Hotel Des Mille Collines.
The story of the hotel, and the manager at that time, Paul Rusesabagina, formed the basis for the popular movie "Hotel Rwanda" starring Don Cheadle.

It's still operating? I guess life has to go on and all of Rawanda was really affected by the tragedy. Interesting post.

Yes, it's one of the nicest hotels in Kigali. I'm sure it took some time to clean it up and/or rennovate, but you'd never know now.
