Thursday, April 28, 2022 –Kenya’s iconic hotel ‘Hilton Hotel’ located in the city’s CBD Nairobi is closing operations in Kenya.

Speaking about it to a local channel on Thursday April 28, an anonymous official made the sad confirmations saying the hotel will nolonger be operating in the country due to some reasons.

He stated that from December this year, the hotel will be no more and that this had already been officially communicated to employees and stakeholders.

The source told the channel that more details on the matter will only be communicated by the management at the rightful time.

“Hilton CBD will close its doors in December this year after almost 53 years, it is quite unfortunate but the top management will issue a detailed statement later to explain to Kenyans what informed that decision,” the source divulged.

The investment has 40.57 per cent in its operator, International Hotels Kenya Limited, and its shutting down will be affecting hundreds of staff who have for years been depending on it for their livelihood.

Some lucky staff will, however, be redeployed to Hilton outlets like Double Tree based in Hurlingham and Hilton Garden Inn based at Nairobi Airport.

“The closure of the hotel will result in a retrenchment process. However, we will work with those impacted to help them find alternative employment,” the official further explained.
