This momentous occasion also marked the conclusion of the hotel’s successful first year, firmly establishing it as a go-to destination for both business and leisure travelers.

The event kicked off with a vibrant cocktail reception, accompanied by the soulful sounds of a live saxophone performance. The highlight of the evening was a heartwarming performance of Christmas carols by children from the Mogra Children’s Home, a cause close to the hotel’s heart.

“We are delighted to provide a space that embodies luxury and the warmth of Kenyan hospitality,” remarked Mr. Lionel Formento, General Manager of Dusit Princess Hotel Residences Nairobi. “This tree lighting not only celebrates the holiday season but also our shared milestones and bright future. We’re committed to delivering world-class experiences and look forward to welcoming guests to discover the Dusit difference.”

Since its grand opening in June, the hotel has already hosted distinguished personalities such as former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, H.E. Ms. Morakot Janemathukorn, the Thai Ambassador to Kenya, and Kenya’s Deputy President, H.E. Kithure Kindiki.

With deluxe rooms, junior suites, and one-bedroom suites offering panoramic views of Nairobi’s skyline, the hotel has quickly become a standout in the city. Its rooftop gem, The Aviary Rooftop Cocktail Lounge, is praised for its innovative cocktails and Thai-inspired cuisine.

Attendee Jacky Muraba described The Aviary as “a must-visit for cocktail lovers in Nairobi,” emphasizing its unforgettable signature drinks and atmosphere.

Looking ahead to 2025, Dusit Princess Nairobi aims to elevate guest experiences further, strengthen community ties, and solidify its status as a leader in Nairobi’s vibrant hospitality scene.
