	Hôtel des Mille Collines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hôtel des Mille Collines is a large hotel in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda.
		The story of the hotel and its manager at that time, Paul Rusesabagina, was used as the base of the movie Hotel Rwanda.
		The French, "des Mille Collines", is from "Land of a Thousand Hills", a poetic name for Rwanda.

	At Hotel Rwanda
		The name is a literal translation from French for ‘Hotel of the Thousand Hills.’ It’s a hotel located in the city Kigali, a borderline 4-star hotel that hosts a motley crew of guests, businessmen, Gorilla enthusiasts, missionaries, an assortment of World Bank interns and development officers, and the occasional sleaze seekers.
		In some sense, the hotel is a microcosm for Rwanda as a whole, itself an island in the rest of Africa in many ways.
		Hotel Rwanda, much as it has become a symbol of the genocide, is quite widely rejected by the locals, who often feel that a nuanced view of the country and its conditions are needed to start a meaningful conversation on the issue.

		Rusesabagina joined Sabena Hotels again and was employed at the Hotel des Mille Collines until November 1993, at which time he was promoted to general manager of the Hotel des Diplomates, also in Kigali.
		In later contacts with the press and others, by telephone calls and fax messages, occupants of the hotel made the Mille Collines a symbol of the fear and anguish suffered by the Tutsi and others during these weeks.
		In a similar incident on May 13, a captain came to the hotel in the morning to warn that there would be an attack at 4 p.m.

		Even at the Mille Collines, bullets were fired into the lobby and a shell landed on the first floor.
		The hotel kitchens provided meals of beans and rice for refugees; a priest celebrated mass and conducted marriages in the conference room; there was a doctor and nurses, who helped deliver a baby in room 216.
		The Mille Collines was a place of shelter for the well-connected and the wealthy rather than the masses.

	James Sanford reviews Hotel Rwanda
		He's a house manager at the luxurious Hotel des Mille Collines, where he's paid to wear a happy face and to keep the guests cheerful by supplying them with all the amenities they crave.
		"The Mille Collines is an oasis of calm," Paul insists, not realizing he and his staff are in the center of what will eventually turn into one of the most shocking episodes of recent history: The ethnically motivated slaughter of nearly one million Tutsis by Hutu extremists.
		Without showing much in the way of gore, "Hotel Rwanda" manages to evoke a ceaseless bloodbath, in which any Tutsi becomes a potential target: One of the aid workers trying to assist the Tutsis notes that Hutu rebels are attacking Tutsi children in the hopes of wiping out the next generation.

		Under his guidance, the Belgian-owned hotel, which was originally a playground for tourists and wealthy Africans, becomes a haven for the displaced.

		MILLE COLLINES HOTEL is a four-star hotel in the city centre in a garden setting with stunning views over the capital city.
		The hotel was made famous by the film Hotel Rwanda, which told the remarkable story of how it became a sanctuary and enabled more than one thousand people to survive the Rwandan genocide in 1993.
		The hotel's crowning glory is its rooftop restaurant, the Panorama, where you can sit and have breakfast as you take in the sights and sounds of early morning in Kigali, spread out below.

		At the hotel's front desk, a newcomer showed up and was told that there were plenty of vacancies, which was a far cry from the situation in 1994, when all 113 rooms were overflowing and the heroic manager at the time, Paul Rusesabagina, stopped charging anyone.
		The hotel was more of a refugee camp in those days, with some rooms packed with as many as 10 people and the lobby and corridors lined with bodies and bedrolls as well.
		The hotel, which was owned by the now bankrupt Belgian airline company Sabena, is on the auction block, and the thinking is that potential buyers are more interested in revamping the 32-year-old property for the future than in dwelling too much on its past.

	'Hotel Rwanda' - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		When Paul Rusesabagina (Cheadle, whose commitment to the role is palpable) is introduced in 1994, he is the manager of the European-owned Hotel des Mille Collines, the No. 1 establishment in the Rwandan capital of Kigali.
		"Hotel Rwanda's" strength is its refusal to stint on the horrors and atrocities, in being unafraid to show us a vivid picture of the blood lust that gripped that country seemingly out of nowhere.
		It's interesting to contrast "Hotel Rwanda" with another just-completed film on the 1994 situation, "Sometime in April," written and directed by Raoul Peck for HBO and due on the service early next year.

	Hotel Rwanda
		An oasis of calm is what they called it, the Hotel des Mille Collines in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda—a gleaming structure where diplomats and dignitaries, fl and white alike, found haven from the teeming streets and the day-to-day in European luxury.
		The details are in the margins: disembodied voices from the radio echo throughout the film, urging massacre, a propaganda begun with “cutting down the tall trees” (the Tutsi superiority) and leading with calls for extermination of the Tutsi “cockroaches”— and unimaginable acts are captured in video footage on the t.v.
		Hotel Rwanda might have been criticized for sentimentality if it had been content to be just a tale of heroism and humanity, moving us just to anger and to tears; but it has a loftier goal.

		Set in 1994, Hotel Rwanda is a rare exception to the rule: a message movie that doesn’t feel like a message movie.
		Incapable of doing anything, even when their men are killed, the peacekeepers do their best to protect the hotel, whose guest list has now swelled to include over one thousand Tutsi refugees.
		As the civil war rages outside the hotel walls, Rusesabagina and his staff do their best to maintain the illusion of sanity.

		Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle), the Rwandan manager of the four-star Hôtel des Mille Collines, in Kigali, wears a blue suit and tie and is very polite, even deferential, toward everyone.
		Working in Rwanda and South Africa, the writer-director, Terry George, convincingly stages the horrors outside the hotel: the paralyzing fear in the night, the vilely inciting radio broadcasts, the chaos and arbitrary madness of the slaughter.
		But the true drama of "Hotel Rwanda" lies in the character of Paul, who is betrayed by the Europeans who formed him but who holds to his belief in civility, right through the worst disasters.
