The five-star hotel, Hemingways Nairobi has been awarded the Mystery Inspectors Award in the Small Luxury Hotels Awards 2020.
Hemingways Nairobi now ranks top among 550 of the most luxurious small hotels in the world.
“We see the award as an incredible boost for the luxury hospitality sector in Kenya, as it shows that a homegrown luxury Kenyan brand, staffed by dedicated Kenyan hospitality professionals, can compete with the best of the best internationally,” said Ross Evans, Hemingways Collection Group Operations Director.
The Mystery Inspectors Award is decided by a group of anonymous inspectors who make a visit to every hotel all over the world.
During these visits, they have a check-list which they follow and once done, they send it back with general findings on the quality of the hotel.
Ross noted that with such thorough scrutiny in giving the award, it is evident that Hemingways collection is dedicated to offering quality service to her guests.
“Considering the mystery inspectors give their rating based on their personal experience at each and every member hotel, this award further recognizes Hemingways Collection’s efforts in providing a unique luxury Kenyan experience to our guests,” said Ross.
Hemingways Nairobi was among the first entities to resume business after a hiatus occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Mysterious Inspectors Award comes against the backdrop of international airlines now allowed into Kenya after a period of suspension.
Kenya lifted a ban on international travel on August 1 and over 180 countries have clearance to land in Kenya amid strict COVID-19 regulations.
Small Luxury Hotels of the World comprises 550 hotels in more than 90 countries.
