Dusit Princess Nairobi Sets New Benchmark in Hybrid Hospitality with Global Recognition

Less than two years after opening its doors, Dusit Princess Hotel Nairobi has cemented its place among Kenya’s top hospitality destinations by winning multiple honors at the Haute Grandeur Global Awards 2025. The hotel received top accolades in five categories:

• Best Hybrid Hotel in Africa
• Best Suite Hotel in Africa
• Best Rooftop View Hotel in Africa
• Best New Hotel (less than 3 years) in Africa
• Best Newly Appointed General Manager (Global) – Lionel Formento

These latest recognitions position Dusit Princess as one of the leading four-star hotels in Westlands, Nairobi, known for blending modern elegance with Thai-inspired hospitality.

The Haute Grandeur Global Awards, regarded as a benchmark for excellence in the global hospitality industry, celebrate exceptional hotels that consistently deliver outstanding guest experiences.

Adding to its growing list of accolades, Dusit Princess was recently ranked the No. 3 Best Hotel in Kenya by the Tourism Regulatory Authority and also earned honors at the CEO Destinations Travel Awards 2025, winning General Manager of the Year and Best Hotel Apartments.

“These accomplishments reflect the investment, dedication, and passion behind our hybrid model, which caters to both business and leisure travelers,” said Mr. Lionel Formento, General Manager of Dusit Princess Nairobi. “We will continue to leverage Kenya’s legacy as a world-class travel destination by offering memorable and distinctive guest experiences.”

Mr. Formento added that Nairobi’s status as East Africa’s business hub provides a prime opportunity to attract both regional and international travelers seeking a blend of comfort, convenience, and cultural richness.

Dusit Princess Nairobi continues to distinguish itself through world-class amenities and unique offerings — including a rooftop bar with panoramic views of Nairobi, an indoor heated pool, and modern serviced apartments complete with kitchens and private balconies.

Its 100 rooms cater to couples, solo travelers, and staycation enthusiasts looking for hotels near Sarit Centre Nairobi, offering easy access to iconic attractions such as the National Museum, Karura Forest, and Nairobi National Park.
