Completely renovated in 2010 to be an upscale hotel boutique. The exclusive interior design made by Thiemoko Dembele, a benchmark of excellence in interior design making.

Location

A few minutes of Bandiagara in Dogon Country and 70 km from Mopti. Rooms: 22 total rooms (17 dome-shaped rooms and 5 junior suites of Sudanese architecture). Two meals specialties: African and international. In Bandiagara / Dogon, The Hotel Kambary/Cheval Blanc is not overly priced and worth every nickel. The rooms are individual dome shaped and buildings with attached bathroom. One can choose air-conditioned or not, but we recommend the air-conditioned room, not only because the stone of the dome building holds heat, but also because it eliminates the need for a mosquito net.
