Indian hotel chain, Sarovar Hotels and Resorts, will open the 144-room Lazizi Premiere Hotel in Nairobi in January and run it under a management contract.
The hotel is on Airport South Road near Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Facilities include three conference rooms, a swimming pool, spa and gym. The property also has a coffee shop, a bar and café.
Initially, the Mumbai-based hotel group had planned to unveil the hotel in September, but had to push the opening to early next year. “There has been delay in the opening of the hotel due to general reasons such as project co-ordination,” said Satya Roychowdhur, who has been appointed to head the hotel.
The hotel group operates more than 75 hotels across 50 destinations in India and Africa and is focusing on its three- and four-star brand, Portico. It has two Nairobi properties in its portfolio: the Zehneria Portico and the Heron Portico.
