Four Points by Sheraton, a Marriott Bonvoy brand, has opened a new 154-room hotel in Kigali, marking the brand‘s debut in Rwanda.

Located in the heart of Rwandan capital, Four Points by Sheraton Kigali blends vintage and modern design elements with distinct local touches to create a vibrant aesthetic and a compelling sense of place.

Bleisure appeal

Designed to appeal to both business and leisure travellers, the hotel offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, approachable and relaxed design, and stylish comfort in the heart of the capital city.

All 154 guestrooms offer panoramic views of Kigali through floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as being equipped with a 55-in smart TV, ergonomic workspaces, and complimentary high-speed internet. The property comes complete with 12 suites, including three Family Suites and one spacious Loft Suite.
