Architecture Under African skies
stainless steel columns laid artfully in vertical rows. A soaring atrium shoots four floors up, past curved armchairs and sand-colored walls that convene at unexpected intervals. Granite, slate, and marble help to temper the warm tones, and right angles are almost nonexistent. There’s even a granite table submerged in the heated pool, which those on business can use for alfresco meetings.
Interior design Les Harbottle
providing unexpected moments of beauty and giving the hotel a distinctive, African voice. Working with Les Harbottle of design firm Plan One, Tribe owner and all-around visionary Shamim Ehsani managed to incorporate illuminated pendants and table lamps, throwing layers of light across the public spaces.

Nature Verdant pleasures
Nairobi’s tropical environment means that greenery flourishes in all corners. Tribe maximizes this “green effect” with an almost-jungle like feel in both its main pool area and on its roof terrace. Fine stonework and tall trees give the scene a refined and lush frame.
Art & Culture African Art
To reflect the true beauty of the continent, Tribe has turned to local artists in a big way. Some of the works on display have propelled their creators from unknowns to celebrated international artists. The hotel also works with high-end galleries that focus on art by Kenyans for Kenya.
Sustainability Keeping an eye on our Conscious Hotel Principles
Tribe Hotel converted the rooftop terrace into an organic garden, used renewable concrete bricks for construction, and worked with a local team.
Food waste is composted for the organic gardens. Discarded linens are used to produce bags for laundry, shoe-polishing, newspapers, and gifts.
The hotel uses efficient appliances and heating/cooling systems, a low-emissions hot water boiler, and LED lights that save over 80% in power consumption by lighting.
In addition to water-efficient devices and appliances, Tribe has its own water treatment plant for staff drinking water and provides glass bottles and tumblers for guests.
Tribe sources herbs from its own organic garden and buys fixtures, produce, and decor from the local community whenever possible.
Each Friday, the hotel provides space for the Masai Market, where local traders sell their wares to travelers and the community.
Guests are encouraged to join guided nature walks through the Karura Forest and can visit trees planted by the Tribe team along the way.
Tribe hires locally and provides health insurance and equal development opportunities for employees. Staff transportation is done by carpooling to lower the carbon footprint.
