At the ceer of this design is a bold redefinition of the traditional hotel lobby; The lobby, which has been transformed io an iernal forest, and with sculptural tree forms, lighting similar to natural vines and green and living textures, eliminates the boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Artworks by Kenyan artists and local handmade structures increase the cultural depth of the space and transform the hotel io an experience beyond the usual hospitality; An experience that is narrated layer by layer and immerses the guest.

The detailed and multi-dimensional look at Nairobi hotel design is not only limited to aesthetics, but also extends to commercial and operational strategies. The unique visual ideity of the hotel differeiates the brand in the mind of the audience and makes its presence on social networks naturally increase; An increase that ultimately leads to the growth of online bookings.
Multi-purpose spaces such as restauras and lounges provide the possibility of generating income at all hours of the day, and the iellige separation of spaces optimizes the path of the guest and the work flow of the service team.
