On Thursday, 10th December, ONOMO celebrated the opening of iJURU with a private VIP reception hosted that included a live performance by Universal Music Africa artist Andy Bumuntu, sounds by DJ Bissosso, a fashion show with designs by Touch of Rwanda.

iJURU provides an open-air trendy and chic oasis fit for private events, intimate gatherings, weddings, and other celebrations. The menu offers a variety of international fusion cuisine accompanied by an array of expertly-blended cocktails that showcase the flavors of Africa and beyond.

The name, iJURU translates to heaven in Kinyarwanda and was selected from a social media contest. ONOMO Hotel prides itself in integrating the local culture into the design and feel of each of its properties. In order to ensure that Rwandan culture was reflected in every aspect of iJURU, ONOMO Hotel launched a social media contest for Kinyarwanda names that would be fitting for the new exciting space. Didier Kananura, the lucky winner submitted the name iJURU which adequately captured the elevated view and feeling of the terrace.
