An Urban Sanctuary - Bringing the Outdoors In

The hotel's interior design draws heavily from Kenya's stunning landscapes, rich heritage, and natural colors. George Wong's design for the property is influenced by the essence and narrative of an African journey, featuring a color scheme inspired by the savannah's earthy browns, vibrant Maasai reds, cultural terracotta, and safari greens that are integrated into its various spaces.

These design decisions elevate the city's luxury experience, offering purposeful spaces where guests can immerse themselves in Africa's essence while enjoying modern urban amenities. The hotel showcases a curated selection of art, including sculptures, handmade ceramics, wall murals, and regional textiles, all narrating the captivating story of Kenya's stunning landscape.

The guest rooms and suites, which include a Presidential Suite, provide a modern sanctuary for guests to relax and rejuvenate while enjoying stunning city views. The spacious serviced apartments, located on the top nine floors of the tower, will offer luxurious and exclusive experiences for long-term guests and families in one, two, and three-bedroom layouts.
