FAIRMONT
KENYA EXPANDS TO ZANZIBAR
By
Prof. Wolfgang Thome. The Kingdom Hotels owned
brand, which some time ago acquired Lonrho Hotels
in Kenya (Norfolk Hotel, Mt. Kenya Safari Club,
Aberdare Country Club, Ark, Mara Safari Club) has
now spread its wings to Zanzibar, where they
reportedly acquired the former Zanzibar Beach
Resort. The renovation of the formerly closed
resort is said to cost in excess of US Dollars 10
Million before reopening as the Fairmont Zanzibar.
It is the fi 1st
beach resort for the group but notably not in Kenya
but Zanzibar, probably a pointer to further
expansion plans for the region. In Uganda however
the group has not commenced construction of their
hotel project in Kampala, after being given a
somewhat controversial land grant in the city,
which forced a primary school and teachers college
to relocate. After the school was demolished, the
proposed construction area is now a sorry sight to
behold. Government had hoped that Kingdom Hotels
would have their promised 5 star hotel ready for
the Commonwealth Summit later this year but may now
have to wait much longer, as the hotel capacity in
Kampala is considered rather on the excess side of
supplies, once the one off summit is over.
Kempinski
Hotels, the
second serious global luxury hotel and resort group
in the region after Fairmont, are also said to be
monitoring the market carefully while exploring
opportunities to further expand into the region
beyond their present two properties in Dar es
Salaam and Zanzibar. Watch this space for emerging
news.
