Why we recommend it
Zaria Court Kigali is an 80-room, four-star hotel in Remera that sits at the centre of a larger sports and entertainment complex. It describes itself as Kigali's newest entertainment district, and the idea is that you can stay, train, eat and socialise without leaving the site, which gives it a very different feel from the city's traditional business hotels.
The sports facilities are the main draw. There is a multi-purpose court, five-a-side football pitches, a gym and wellness centre, and a playground and park for children. Food and drink is spread around the complex, from a sports bar to The Jaro, a rooftop lounge, and the Solia Pool Deck. A retail park built from shipping containers, a co-working space and a banqueting and events centre complete the mix.
That makes the hotel a good fit for sports fans, active travellers and families who want plenty to do on site, and for teams or groups visiting Kigali for tournaments and events. It also works for remote workers who want a co-working space on the doorstep. Travellers looking for a quiet, traditional hotel may prefer somewhere in Kiyovu, as the complex is designed to be lively and is open to the public daily.
Bookings for rooms are handled through the Hilton website, which is linked from the hotel's homepage, and general enquiries go to the published email address. No phone number is listed on the homepage, so use the contact form or email for questions about room types, transfers or events before you travel.
Because the complex is open to the public, it also gives guests an easy way to meet residents, whether over a game of five-a-side or at the sports bar during a big match. Check the hotel's social media for events before you arrive.
Remera lies on the eastern side of the city towards the airport, so it is convenient for arrivals and departures and for Nyandungu Eco-Park. The city centre and the Kigali Genocide Memorial are a longer drive across town, so allow extra time in traffic and use taxis or ride-hailing apps to get around. Evenings at The Jaro, with its food, cocktails and views, mean you may not need to leave the complex at all.
