Since opening in 2016, the landmark property has welcomed world leaders, international organizations, multinational companies, major sporting events, cultural celebrations and thousands of delegates from around the world. Beyond its role as a hotel and events venue, it has become a symbol of Rwanda’s ambition, innovation and continued transformation.
The anniversary was celebrated under the theme, “Celebrating a Decade of Excellence, Innovation and Community Impact,” through a programme of activities recognizing the people, partnerships and progress behind the property’s success, while setting the direction for its next decade.
The anniversary programme was built around three flagship pillars. Legacy Week featured a ten-day celebration highlighting the property’s contribution to Rwanda’s growth. The Legacy Gala brought together approximately 350 stakeholders and partners, while the KCC Impact Programme included a series of community and sustainability initiatives held before and after the anniversary celebrations.
As part of the programme, Radisson Blu Hotel & Convention Centre, Kigali delivered a series of legacy initiatives reflecting its commitment to sustainability, community engagement, employee wellbeing and talent development. Activities included the planting of 100 trees, community outreach with SOS Children’s Villages, a Youth Career Day for future hospitality talent, employee wellness activities and long-service recognition for team members.
The celebrations also included the launch of a “10 Years of Impact” documentary, sharing the history and evolution of the property, alongside a dedicated media programme highlighting its contribution to tourism, employment, business events and Rwanda’s wider economy.
“Over the past ten years, Radisson Blu Hotel & Convention Centre, Kigali has played an important role in strengthening Rwanda’s position as one of Africa’s leading destinations for business tourism and international events. This milestone reflects the dedication of our teams, the confidence of our partners and the strong vision that continues to drive Rwanda’s hospitality sector forward. We are proud of what has been achieved and remain committed to supporting the country’s tourism ambitions, developing local talent and creating meaningful value for the communities in which we operate,” said Sandra Kneubühler, Managing Director, Sub-Saharan Africa, Radisson Hotel Group.
