About
The hotel is operated by Radisson Blu and this is its very first hotel in
Rwanda. With its iconic design, a majestic dome paying tribute to the shape of
traditional Rwandan huts, it effortlessly combines Rwandan culture and modernity
and is billed to become one of the country’s major architectural landmarks.
Preciosa has designed a cluster of four chandeliers for the hotel lobby, which are 5,5 meters in length and composed of almost one thousand glass tubes of champagne colour.
Inspired by the solar system, the Arena’s main lighting features an amber glass sphere encircled by three rings. The sphere is crafted from hand-blown Bohemian glass with mica and bubbles, while the rings—measuring 3, 5, and 7 meters—are made of 30 cm glass prisms.
The ballroom is lit by seven rectangular chandeliers composed of clear glass tubes.

Location
Kigali Convention Centre
The convention centre is located on Highway KN5 in Kigali, approximately 6 kilometres west of Kigali International Airport. The gigantic Convention Centre, of 53,000 square meters, is the largest in the region. The centre has four major components: a 5-star hotel with 292 rooms on six floors, a conference centre with a seating capacity of 2,600, the Kigali Information Technology Park, and a museum. Construction began in 2009 and was completed in 2016. Bost Group Berlin made the initial design for the Kigali Convention Complex. Later on, it was taken over by Spacial Solutions. Preciosa has collaborated directly with the owner-developer Ultimate Concepts Ltd, based in Kigali.
