Sankara Nairobi, a member of Marriott’s Autograph Collection of global luxury hotels, was named as the continental winner of the ‘Best Luxury Art Hotel‘ for Africa.
The World Luxury Hotel Awards recognize establishments for world-class service excellence, providing true recognition that reflects the hard work and dedication exhibited by hotel teams. Awards are presented on a country, regional, continent and global basis. Winners are selected by public vote online, and this year over 700,000 votes were received across all awards.
‘It has indeed been a tumultuous year for the hospitality sector, and so it gives us great pleasure to present Sankara Nairobi with this Award to distinguish your hotel in Nairobi and would like to congratulate you for winning one of our prestigious awards” Michael Hunter Smith Marketing Director of the World Luxury Awards said.
