Tribe - The Village Market Hotel is a luxury boutique hotel that opened its doors to GUESTS on September 1, 2008. The 142-room property sets a new standard in Kenyan hospitality and hotel design.

Located in Gigiri, Nairobi's diplomatic district, Tribe is attached to The Village Market, East Africa's largest shopping and recreation complex. The hotel is less than a kilometer from the United Nations Offices in Nairobi, the US Embassy and Canadian High Commission, as well as numerous international NGO's and Foreign Missions.

"The name Tribe is derived from an ideology of unity, an understanding that we are all members of a single tribe and residents of a global village, hence the hotel's tag: One Planet One Tribe," said Hooman Ehsani, Developer.

Managed by African Pride Hotels, Tribe is the newest addition to a collection of 15 hotels, lodges and country homes throughout sub-Saharan Africa and the brand's first property in East Africa. The hotel's design is HIP and chic, with an emphasis on luxury and design elements.

The hotel caters to high-end business and leisure travellers, providing an unprecedented level of service and comfort. Tribe's 180 full-time employees have successfully completed four months of etiquette and operations training in anticipation of the hotel's opening, emphasizing communication skills and confidence. "The STAFF training program is at the centre of Tribe's commitment to Kenya and the hospitality industry," said Alan Kane, General Manager, Tribe.

GUEST rooms offer free wireless internet, large LCD TVs, open-plan bathrooms with rain showers, Eartherapy amenities, 300 thread-count linens, mood lighting and floor to ceiling mirrors as standard features. A collection of over 800 pieces of Kenyan and African fine art and artifacts have been placed throughout the hotel, in GUEST rooms and common areas.

The penthouse - Nairobi's first "celebrity" suite, as well as the VIP Wing, present accommodations specifically tailored to the needs of the ultra-luxury market; a growing niche previously unsatisfied by city hotels. "Tribe's innovative design has changed Nairobi's hospitality landscape, developing the Capital as a destination in its own right with a more complete offering," said Hamed Ehsani, Managing Director, Greenhills Investments Ltd.

Epic, the hotel's restaurant, serves an eclectic mix of global flavours through the creations of Executive Chef, Neil McCarthy. The restaurant is trendy, sophisticated and unpretentious; pairing the freshest ingredients with visually striking design and professional service.

Tribe provides 24-hour room service, concierge, travel desk and four well-appointed boardrooms through the hotel's "Executive Services."
