“We take immense pride in continuing to drive the expansion of business tourism in Kenya.”
Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi Upper Hill has previously earned accolades at the World Travel Awards, including the title of Africa’s Leading New Hotel in 2016. Since then, it has become the preferred choice for corporate travelers, hosting major summits and high-profile events.
The hotel is distinguished by its prime location, robust security, and cutting-edge business facilities. Its offerings include one of Nairobi’s largest conference spaces, a presidential suite, an executive lounge, and a diverse range of dining options, such as Chophouse, Larder, Alfresco, and Humidor Bar.
