On July 13, 2020, PrideInn Hotels reopened its Westlands branch in Nairobi, Kenya, after a temporary suspension of operations due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Sh1.2 billion facility hotel, which was acquired by PrideInn Group on a management contract in February 2020, had temporarily suspended its operations in March following the confirmation of the first Covid-19 case in the country.
"We resumed operations as we recognised that demand, especially of accommodation and meetings, is once again rising after the two months lockdown," said Hasnain Noorani, the Group Managing Director of PrideInn Hotels.
The hotel has implemented enhanced safety protocols, including frequent cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting of all surfaces after every guest use, linen-less tables in the restaurants, social distancing, and spaced seating in meeting rooms and restaurants.
"We are delighted to be able to open in the current situation and have affordable exciting offers for our local customers and ensure that they are comfortable and safe as they enjoy our services," added Noorani.
