Dusit Princess Hotel Residences Nairobi, an award-winning addition to Kenya’s luxury hospitality scene, marked the beginning of the festive season with a dazzling Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on December 5th. The event not only celebrated the hotel’s remarkable inaugural year but also underscored its reputation as a premier destination for both leisure and business travelers.
The evening unfolded with elegance and joy, starting with a sophisticated cocktail reception that set the perfect celebratory tone. Guests were serenaded by a soulful saxophone performance, while heartwarming Christmas carols sung by children from the Mogra Children’s Home—a cause close to the hotel’s heart—brought an extra touch of cheer.
Reflecting on the milestone, Mr. Lionel Formento, General Manager of Dusit Princess Hotel Residences Nairobi, expressed his pride and optimism for the hotel’s future. “This ceremony is a celebration of our journey so far and the vibrant future ahead. We’re honored to offer a space that blends luxury, comfort, and the renowned warmth of Kenyan hospitality,” he said.
Since its grand opening in June, Dusit Princess has rapidly become a top choice for discerning guests. It has already hosted high-profile visitors, including former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, Thai Ambassador to Kenya H.E. Ms. Morakot Janemathukorn, and Kenya’s Deputy President H.E. Kithure Kindiki.
The hotel boasts world-class amenities, including deluxe rooms and suites that provide stunning views of Nairobi’s iconic skyline. The crown jewel of its offerings is The Aviary Rooftop Cocktail Lounge, where patrons enjoy innovative cocktails and Thai-inspired cuisine while taking in breathtaking panoramas of the city.
Guest Jacky Muraba, attending the ceremony, described The Aviary as “a must-visit for cocktail lovers in Nairobi,” applauding its signature drinks and unmatched ambiance.
Looking ahead to 2025, Dusit Princess Hotel Residences Nairobi aims to further enhance guest experiences, deepen its community engagements, and reinforce its status as a leader in Nairobi’s dynamic hospitality scene.
The Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony was more than a festive kick-off; it was a testament to Dusit Princess Hotel Residences’ commitment to excellence and a bright future as a pillar of luxury and community in Nairobi.
