On the back of Nairobi's growing economic, financial, and transport significance in East Africa, Accor has chosen Gigiri as the site for its first MGallery hotel.
Located in the affluent and serene Gigiri area, home to the UN and several international embassies, the hotel is set to be officially opened in early 2021.
Accor, a French multinational hospitality company, has partnered with Jit Group to bring the MGallery brand to Nairobi. The new hotel will be the fifth Accor property in the city, following the Fairmont, Ibis styles, and Movenpick hotels, with a fourth property set to open later in 2019.
The MGallery Gigiri will feature 105 rooms and suites, four restaurants, meeting rooms, a business centre, and wellness facilities, including a gym, pool, and spa.
With its striking architecture, well-manicured interiors, and soft touch, the MGallery Gigiri is poised to be a game-changer in Nairobi's hospitality scene.
