A bold new design-led hotel on Boulevard du 30 Juin, bringing 171 rooms, vibrant dining concepts, and contemporary hospitality to the heart of Kinshasa.
Compagnie Hôtelière et Immobilière du Congo (CHIC) is pleased to announce the opening of ibis Styles Kinshasa, a vibrant new internationally branded hotel located on Boulevard du 30 Juin in the heart of Kinshasa’s economic and administrative district. This opening marks another important step in CHIC’s continued commitment to developing quality hospitality infrastructure in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Designed as a fresh and creative hospitality destination, ibis Styles Kinshasa brings a distinctive new offering to one of the city’s most dynamic urban corridors. The hotel combines international design inspiration with the rhythm, energy, and evolving identity of Kinshasa, creating an experience tailored to today’s business and leisure traveller.
Inspired by elements of French cabaret culture and classic European cinema, the hotel’s interiors offer a playful yet refined atmosphere where Parisian flair meets the contemporary creative spirit of Kinshasa. The design concept reflects a modern hospitality experience shaped by global influences and local relevance.
ibis Styles Kinshasa features 171 rooms, thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of urban travellers, with high-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen televisions, ergonomic workspaces, air-conditioning, and well-appointed bathrooms. The hotel also offers round-the-clock services to support both short-stay and extended-stay guests visiting the capital.
The hotel’s food and beverage offering includes BLVD 30, a lively bistro-style restaurant inspired by the atmosphere of a European café and the vibrant spirit of Kinshasa, as well as La Scène, a coffee-bar designed as a social space for informal meetings and moments of relaxation throughout the day. Guests also benefit from flexible meeting rooms and a fully equipped fitness centre, supporting both productivity and wellbeing.
Khalil Manji, Partner, said:“The opening of ibis Styles Kinshasa reflects CHIC’s continued confidence in the long-term potential of Kinshasa and in the broader hospitality opportunity in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This hotel is more than a new opening; it is a statement of intent. We are committed to investing in quality hospitality assets that strengthen the city’s infrastructure, support its growing business and tourism ecosystem, and deliver internationally branded products with strong local relevance.”
Suhail Ashok Bhatia, Director Asset Management, added:“ibis Styles Kinshasa represents the kind of hospitality product CHIC believes in developing — design-led, operationally relevant, commercially accessible, and aligned with the character of its market. From concept to delivery, the focus has been on creating an asset that is not only internationally branded, but also responsive to the energy, ambition, and everyday realities of Kinshasa. We see this opening as an important addition to the city’s hospitality landscape and to CHIC’s growing platform in the DRC.”
The opening of ibis Styles Kinshasa reinforces CHIC’s commitment to developing internationally branded hospitality assets in key urban markets across the country. Through disciplined investment, strong execution, and a long-term ownership approach, CHIC continues to play an active role in supporting the modernization of the DRC’s hospitality sector.
