Best Outlook Hotel is a hilltop retreat in Bujumbura, Burundi, perched above Lake Tanganyika. Since 2013, it has been the preferred choice of diplomats and distinguished travellers visiting Burundi — 25 rooms and suites, a hillside pool, restaurant, and conference halls for up to 150 guests.
They needed a digital presence that matched the quality of their guest experience: refined, atmospheric, and built to convert browsers into bookings.
The Challenge
The hotel had no website that reflected its positioning as Bujumbura's premier hilltop property. The goal was to create a bilingual (EN/FR) site that communicates exclusivity while making the booking process effortless across all devices.
The Approach
I designed and built the full website experience, focusing on:
Visual storytelling — large-format imagery, cinematic layouts, and intentional whitespace to let the property and its Lake Tanganyika views speak for themselves
Clear booking flow — reducing friction between browsing rooms and making a reservation, with direct booking CTAs on every page
Room showcase system — dedicated cards for Standard, Deluxe, Mini-Suite, and Presidential Suite with pricing context and instant reserve links
Responsive design — ensuring the experience translates seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and mobile
Premium typography and color system — deep navy palette with warm gold accents, reinforcing the brand's positioning as a luxury hilltop retreat
Desktop Pages
Homepage and key pages — desktop layout
Room detail and booking flow
Mobile Experience
Responsive mobile screens — hero, navigation, and booking
The Result
A polished, conversion-ready website that elevated Best Outlook Hotel's brand from offline reputation to a credible digital presence. The site covers rooms, dining, events, services, a discovery guide to Bujumbura, a photo gallery, and a full booking system — all responsive and bilingual.
