Glee Nairobi, a hotel that has reconceived what it means to host, gather, and escape in the heart of East Africa, has officially been named Best Luxury Conference & Event Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya for 2025 by Luxury Lifestyle Awards.

Only 16 months after opening its doors, Glee Nairobi has become one of the continent’s most compelling addresses. Tucked into the tranquil suburb of Runda, the hotel’s bold design, sweeping views, and immersive experiences have captivated everyone from corporate leaders and dignitaries to style-conscious travelers and luxury lifestyle tastemakers.

Glee Nairobi is a multi-sensory destination. From its pillarless grand ballroom and tree-lined Skywalk, to the private 582m² Presidential Suite with its own heated pool, the property exudes the kind of modern elegance that is both elevated and refreshingly unconventional.

“Glee Nairobi has broken the mold of traditional hospitality in Africa,” said Alexander Chetchikov, CEO of Luxury Lifestyle Awards and President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce.
“They’ve created something that is at once daring and deeply thoughtful—a space where design, experience, and service come together to create real magic. Glee Nairobi is so much more than a luxury hotel; it’s a cultural moment.”

This year’s accolade honors Glee’s distinct ability to merge grand-scale event hosting with highly personalized luxury. With eight adaptable meeting rooms, a lush outdoor events garden, and a vibrant lineup of six restaurants and bars, Glee offers experiences that are immersive and unforgettable.

The hotel’s General Manager, Javier Sanchez, shared his pride in the team’s achievement: “We didn’t just want to open another five-star hotel—we wanted to create a place that makes people feel something. Whether it’s an international summit or a weekend getaway, every moment at Glee is designed to inspire. This award is proof that our vision is resonating.”

Every inch of Glee Nairobi reflects that intention. Designed by the world-renowned Kristina Zanic Studio, the interiors merge global luxury with African soul—balancing serenity and flair in unexpected ways. Meanwhile, signature features like the Skywalk offer guests rare experiences that go beyond accommodation: forest-canopy strolls, private yoga sessions, and intimate rooftop dinners.

With its award-winning team, growing international presence, and uncompromising creative vision, Glee Nairobi is changing the narrative for what luxury can look and feel like in East Africa.
