Tribe, Nairobi Kenya: African luxury, Urban Adventure

Tribe, Africa’s premier luxury urban boutique hotel, opens to international acclaim.

Nairobi, Kenya, July 28, 2009 – TRIBE – The Village Market Hotel, located in the heart of Nairobi’s sophisticated Gigiri district, adjacent to The Village Market, the region’s best shopping destination, is Africa’s newest luxurious boutique hotel.

Launched less than one year ago, Tribe, developed by the same team who created East Africa’s most popular shopping experience, has become an instant hit with both discerning business travelers, jet setting celebrities and travelers looking to add an urban flair to their Kenya-getaways.

Designed with the philosophy that the only tribe that matters is the human tribe, Tribe is among the most striking, and luxurious boutique properties on the African continent. Comprised of 137 rooms, a popular grill restaurant, gym, complimentary wireless internet access, a business center and meeting rooms, a wellness spa, individualized travel services and a well-versed concierge; Tribe meets and exceeds the needs of travelers of all types, and has become Nairobi’s top luxury hotel even before final completion.

As East Africa’s most sophisticated lodging option, Tribe has played host to a long list of the global elite, including heads of state, business leaders and celebrities from the United States and beyond; Tribe’s close proximity to the United Nations and many of Nairobi’s embassies makes it one of the most sought-after destinations in the city. The spectacular Penthouse Suite has become a top-requested room whose striking contemporary African design, coupled with state of the art technology and lighting, has raised the bar for African luxury hotels.

With a design and service philosophy firmly steeped in the luxury hospitality traditions of Europe that simultaneously celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Kenya and epitomizes the sophisticated urban environment that is Nairobi, Tribe is the first of its kind in the world. Says Tribe developer Hooman Ehsani, "The name Tribe is derived from an ideology of unity, an understanding that we are all members of a single tribe and residents of a global village, hence the hotel's tag: One Planet, One Tribe."
