Dusit Princess Hotel Nairobi has emerged as one of the standout names in Kenyan hospitality after bagging multiple accolades at the Haute Grandeur Global Awards 2025.

Barely two years since opening its doors in Westlands, the four-star hotel received five top honours, including Best Hybrid Hotel in Africa, Best Suite Hotel in Africa, Best Rooftop View Hotel in Africa, Best New Hotel (less than three years) in Africa, and Best Newly Appointed General Manager (Global) awarded to Lionel Formento.

The Haute Grandeur Awards celebrate exceptional hospitality establishments worldwide, recognising excellence in service, experience, and innovation.

Dusit Princess’ recognition adds to a growing list of accolades, including being ranked the third-best hotel in Kenya by the Tourism Regulatory Authority and earning distinctions at the CEO Destinations Travel Awards 2025 for General Manager of the Year and Best Hotel Apartments.

Speaking after the announcement, General Manager Lionel Formento noted that the honours reflect the team’s commitment to quality and adaptability.

“These recent accomplishments are a true reflection of the investment, time and dedication put into our hybrid model, which ensures that Dusit Princess is one of the primary destinations for both business and leisure travellers. We will continue to leverage Kenya’s legacy as one of the world’s most popular travel and entertainment destinations by adding unique and memorable experiences,” said Mr Formento.

“Nairobi’s privileged position as East Africa’s economic hub is an opportunity that we will continue to exploit as more business travellers travel to this region. Our unique offering provides residents with comfort, convenience and a chance to cultivate fond memories of their stay with us,” he added.
