Sarova Hotels & Resorts, Kenya’s largest indigenous collection of hospitality establishments, has added its eighth hotel in Kenya, Sarova Imperial Hotel Kisumu – the iconic Imperial Hotel Kisumu to its stable. They have signed a 7-year management agreement with the hotel’s owners, the Gilani family.
By establishing a presence in Kisumu, Sarova Hotels is now the only hospitality group in the country operating quality properties in Kenya’s four cities – Sarova Stanley and Sarova Panafric in Nairobi, SAROVA Whitesands Beach resort in Mombasa, Sarova Imperial Hotel in Kisumu, and Sarova Woodlands and Sarova Lion Hill in the newest City, Nakuru.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Sarova Hotels Group MD Jimi Kariuki said that having a presence in Kisumu City and in the larger Western Kenya region has always been part of the hospitality group’s growth plan, noting that the city is currently undergoing an extensive urban rejuvenation of the downtown and lower areas
“The city’s location on the shores of Africa’s largest lake, Lake Victoria, and the ongoing modernisation of the lakefront makes Kisumu a unique destination to add to the Sarova experience.”
The three-star Sarova Imperial Hotel Kisumu will run 93 renovated guest bedrooms including suites, new meetings facilities, and upgraded food and beverage outlets.
“We will continue to scout for new properties in Kenya and the region in line with the vision of our shareholders, as well as enter different segments of the hospitality business,” Mr Kariuki said.
Kisumu Imperial has been in existence for 48 years. The hotel has been undergoing a facelift to keep up with the trends in the hospitality industry.
