This is an invited competition-winning scheme. The thoughtful design organizes the hotel rooms along two curvaceous, naturally ventilated corridors, perfectly fitting the trapezoidal site.

This approach allows for the maximum number of rooms to be accommodated within the tight, irregularly shaped site, while simultaneously creating an open courtyard that gently terraces downward between the two curved arms of the hotel complex

The rooms located on the outer convex section of the corridor offer views of adjacent open spaces. In contrast, the rooms situated on the inner concave side overlook a courtyard featuring a 60-meter reflective swimming pool.

The expansive water feature in the courtyard serves to moderate temperatures during infrequent hot days in Nairobi. It also provides an aesthetically pleasing backdrop for leisure amenities, including a gym, bar, and restaurants, which benefit from the calming sounds and visual appeal of the reflective pool.

A feature bridge with a circular funnel-shaped Teflon roof hovers above the pool, serving as an attraction that welcomes guests from the lobby. It metaphorically invites them to transition into tranquility while crossing over to the lift lobby located in the hotel wing.

The hotel’s main lobby features a floor adorned with an intricate floral marble pattern that extends into the connecting bridge. A complimentary luxury chandelier by Lasvit has been customdesigned to reflect the grandeur of the flora pattern.

All interiors are tastefully designed with floral and fauna sculptures and details, enhancing the distinctiveness of this unique arboretum hotel, named after a nearby arboretum park.
