Hôtel Source du Nil

The Hôtel Source du Nil, located in downtown Bujumbura, Burundi, is a state-owned hotel with a rich history dating back to its opening in 1979. Originally part of the Méridien chain, it was once the premier hotel in the area, attracting businessmen, politicians, and diplomats. The hotel features a stunning view of Lake Tanganyika, set in a tropical park with amenities including a golf course, swimming pool, and tennis courts. Despite its luxurious offerings, including 160 well-appointed rooms and extensive conference facilities, the hotel has faced financial challenges and changes in management. Currently, discussions are ongoing regarding its future, with options for redevelopment or alternative uses being considered.
