Kevin Githinji Mbugua General Manager at The Pinnacle Kigali in Kigali, Rwanda
Following its January 2026 opening to the international market, The Pinnacle Kigali, Rwanda's newest luxury hotel and private Members Club, has appointed Kevin Githinji Mbugua as General Manager, marking a new chapter for the ultra-luxury retreat.
Perched high in the tranquil Rebero Hills, just 10 kilometers from Kigali International Airport, The Pinnacle Kigali is conceived as a serene urban sanctuary that bridges the vibrancy of Rwanda's capital with the country's extraordinary wilderness. With only nine exquisitely designed rooms, a saltwater infinity pool, rooftop restaurant and bar, spa and wellness center, private cinema, bowling alley, and Members Club, the property offers rare intimacy alongside world-class amenities and is intentionally positioned as the ideal two-night base in Kigali before or after gorilla trekking.
As General Manager, Kevin Githinji Mbugua brings over 15 years of leadership experience across East Africa and the Middle East, most recently serving as Hotel Manager at Hemingways Retreat Kigali (formerly The Retreat by Heaven). Known within Kigali's luxury scene for his hands-on leadership, Kevin will focus on delivering a highly tailored experience for local and international VIP clientele, raising the bar for service and on-property programming while connecting guests to the city's best restaurants, art, and cultural experiences.
In addition to its leadership expansion, The Pinnacle Kigali has joined XO Private and appointed Karoo Consulting for trade representation, further strengthening its presence within the high-end travel advisor and luxury consortia community.
