Each room has a private sitting room and balcony.   <\/p>\n<p>The hotel has experienced chefs with prowess in culinary arts to prepare menu courses of customers\u2019 choices giving another reason to stick to its services.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, the hotel has a coffee shop and bar that offers a unique and comfortable setting for guests to quench their thirst.<\/p>\n<p>Fran\u00e7ois Rutayisire, the owner of the Hotel who lives in France has said that establishing the facility was inspired by the advice from President Paul Kagame to members of the diaspora reminding them of their responsibility to join other Rwandans to build the nation in respective capacities.   <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the fact that I was warmly welcomed and treated gently in foreign countries, I did not forget my country that my reflections were mainly about my contribution to the development of my motherland. I am proud to have achieved this milestone,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n<p>The hotel seeks, among other things, to introduce guests to Rwanda\u2019s attractive beauty and touristic attractions. For instance, the hotel\u2019s rooms carry the names of wild animals present in Rwanda\u2019s forests with related drawings.   <\/p>\n<p>These include Inzovu room, Turaco room, Ingagi room, Imparage room, Twiga room, Impara room, and Umusambi room.<\/p>\n<p>It is also adorned with other eye-catching paintings portraying the beauty of the Country of Thousand Hills including the topographical structure, plains, water bodies, and traditional culture among others. <\/p>\n<p>Serge Rugwiro, the hotel\u2019s Operations Manager has said that the underlying motive was to develop a unique approach of welcoming guests at the same time giving them an impression of what Rwanda\u2019s touristic attractions offer.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA foreigner might come to Rwanda for businesses without noticing that the country has parks with animal species attracting tourists. This was meant to market the visibility of the country and introduce wild species present in Rwanda through this approach,\u201d he disclosed.   <\/p>\n<p>Customers booking rooms at the hotel are picked from the airport and enjoy a free breakfast.   <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1041\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g9VmGt2PgeY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
