Orchid room renamed Amani room - Nairobi Serena Hotel

The Nairobi Serena Hotel Orchid Room, which was the venue for the Kenya peace talks, was officially renamed Amani Room (Swahili for peace). Mr Koffi Annan, who brokered the power-sharing deal between President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga, was given the honour of unveiling the plaque.

When the going got tough, they chose an idyllic retreat that falls under the Serena Group, Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge in Tsavo West National Park.

The Nairobi Serena Hotel, a member of the Leading Hotels of the World was the ideal choice given its five-star status and strategic location in the city.

Nairobi Serena Hotel is justly famed for organising world-class conferences with state-of-the-art facilities, excellent catering, leisure and first class accommodation.
