Hot on the heels of our Rwanda feature last month, The
Protea Hospitality Group has signed a deal that will see Africa’s largest hotel
group moving into its 10th African country, the beautiful equatorial Republic
of Rwanda, famous for its Mountain Gorillas.
A 25-room hotel in the upmarket suburb of
Nyarutarama in Rwanda’s capital city, Kigali will become Protea Hotel Kigali
when it opens in the last quarter of this year and represents a great step
forward in the Protea Hospitality Group’s growth in East Africa, says company
CEO Arthur Gillis.
Protea Hotel Kigali will offer standard rooms, as
well as eight two-bedroom units specifically for the long-stay market. The
hotel will also feature a 60-seater restaurant, a bar, gym and swimming pool,
plus two executive boardrooms for meetings and conferences on site.
Rwanda is a developing nation of approximately 11
million people. African Economic Outlook sets the country an expected GDP growth
of nearly 7% for 2013.
