The unveiling of the new facility last Friday brought the number of hotels operated by the group in Mombasa and Nairobi to seven.

Other hotels include Pride Express Nyali, PrideInn Hotel Mombasa, Pride Express Diani, PrideInn Hotel Raphta, PrideInn Hotel Westlands and PrideInn Suites Lantana.

Group MD Hasnain Noorani said the new hotel and convention Centre has 300 rooms and a 600 bed capacity.
