Boma Hotels and Inns – an update

My article about the Boma Hotel in Nairobi remains one of the most widely read articles on my blog, and my TripAdvisor review of the hotel, incidentally the first ever posted for this hotel, was in retrospect spot on and now equally is one of the most widely read of all my reviews posted on TA.

Much has happened since then and their Executive Chef, Archie Athanasius, late last week provided me with an update on facilities in Nairobi, their new venture in Eldoret and their plans for Nyeri.
Boma Hotels’ CEO Mugo Maringa and his team however are clearly set to expand their brands BOMA Hotels and BOMA Inns beyond only these three locations, so watch this space for updates and information on where the next Boma Inn will open.
