Overview

Aya Investments Limited, a subsidiary of the Aya Group, have been working on the 24-story building since 2006. As a result of cash shortages and administrative difficulties, the hotel took much longer to complete, with many missed deadlines and multiple postponements of the opening date. When completed, it will be the tallest completed building in the city, at 23 storeys and about 90 metres (300 ft) in height. As of November 2013, the Hilton hotel chain had thirty seven operational properties in Africa, with another seventeen in development. These properties include the Bujumbura Doubletree Hotel.
