Location and Access

Meetings and Events

The Grand Royal Swiss Hotel offers conferencing and event facilities in Western Kenya. The Rambara Eves Conference Center has audio-visual equipment, a soundproof system, and IT facilities. The Rambara Eves Ballroom has 612 sq m of pillar-free space.

“The Oriental and European décor strikes a distinctive note, and the ample green spaces are a definite plus. However, reports of inconsistent service from some staff members give me pause, even with managers apparently providing strong oversight. While the extensive conference facilities and upcoming children's park aim to please, potential guests should be aware of possible service inconsistencies.”
