All About Holiday Inn Nairobi
We at Holiday Inn Nairobi offer first-class conference facilities for businesses of all sizes
. A historic Colonial hotel built in the 1940s, we are sited in the popular Parklands district, one of Nairobis most affluent suburbs. With seven conference rooms able to accommodate meetings of up to 250 delegates, we offer easy access to the central business district, Jomo Kenyatta international airport and railway services.Today one of the largest cities in Africa, Nairobi began life as a small rail depot in 1899. By 1907 it was the capital of British East Africa, becoming the capital of the free Kenyan republic in 1963. Today, Nairobi still has a strong British feel, especially in suburbs like Parklands, where we at Holiday Inn are situated. Named because of its proximity to City Park, Parklands was established by the Colonial Government in 1948, the time our hotel dates from.
Those using our business facilities will notice a big difference between our attractive, low-rise meeting premises at Holiday Inn Nairobi and the tower blocks and busy streets of the business district. This area has the highest number of ambassadorial residences in Kenya especially in the Muthaiga district, which is locally known as Kenyas Beverly Hills. Those booking meetings with us at Holiday Inn should take an evening stroll to get a taste of the old Nairobi. Low-rise, gated colonial estates predominate, many of them owned by wealthy Kenyan businessmen and expatriates. Beyond lie the lush woods, streams and valleys of the Karura and Sigiri Forests just two of Nairobis many green areas, and perfect for an evening stroll after the conference is over.
Our facilities at Holiday Inn Nairobi make us a popular choice for business meetings. Nairobi is a prominent centre for business and culture, and home to numerous high-profile companies and organisations, including the African UN Office (near which we at Holiday Inn are sited). The Nairobi Stock Exchange is the fourth largest in Africa, making up to 10 million trades daily.
Conference visitors regularly fly in from abroad and the skyline of the central business district is invariably the first thing they see. A large number of tower blocks have risen in recent years, the most impressive of which is the Kenyatta International Conference Centre.
This reinforces the fact that the city is the regional headquarters for a number of large international companies, for which extensive conference facilities are needed. General Electric, Citibank, Google, Coca Cola and Cisco Systems are just some of the international firms who have relocated their African operations to Nairobi, with several banking and financial companies having premises in Upper Hill. The prestigious Rahimtulla Tower is primarily occupied by the British company PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Goodyear, General Motors and Toyota all have factories here, and the city is also the headquarters for a number of large African firms.
Nairobis tourism is varied, and dominated by its National Park. Those booking business conferences in Nairobi can enjoy a guided safari on foot one of the few places in Africa where you can do this.
Whether youre in the city for a conference meeting, or simply want a unique base from which to explore the wildlife, we at Holiday Inn Nairobi offer excellent facilities for all our guests.
