IHG Hotel and Resorts has added the Fairview Hotel in Nairobi to its portfolio.
The property is the first in Africa to join its Vignette Collection, a group of hotels which aims to offer a more authentic touch to travel and accommodation.
The hotel has 99 rooms of 20th century bluestone architecture, botanical gardens and courtyards.
It features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, three restaurants, nine meeting and event spaces and a hidden underground Pango Wine Cellar.
The Vignette Collection has 27 hotels with 41 more lined up, just three years after its launch.
IHG ’s Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio is the second largest of its type globally while IHG is the fifth largest hotel chain.
IHG sits at a lower fee cost point than larger competitors Marriot and Hilton but they offer more locations and prestige as brands.
