A deep survey into the quality of Hotels by the Guardian has classified Rwanda’s Inside Africa Hotel among the best 7 Boutique Hotels in Africa depending on its particularity.
A hotel is named Boutique after taking wasted items or ignored places and turn them into the best Hotel.
Inside Africa, located in Kiyovu, was made from the collection of different rejected materials around the country which is among the criteria that gives it the rank.
The hotel was built from the idea of the 2 young men who are Maurice Bagaragaza and Ghislain Ibariza and it now contain Rwandan ornaments.
Bagaragaza said that particularity of the Inside Africa Boutique Hotel is that it contains items particular to Rwanda and uses talented artists.
He said, “the place is mostly loved by white people due to the strange artistic ornaments and a building as well which they don’t have in their countries of origin.”
Apart from Inside Hotel from Rwanda, the Guardian also highlighted Villa Margherita (Swakopmund, Namibia), Cape Cadogan (Cape Town, South Africa), Mashariki Palace (Stone Town, Zanzibar), Souimanga Lodge (Fimela, Senegal), AfroChic (Diani Beach, Kenya) and Benguerra Lodge (Mozambique).
