For Sale USD KES 15,500,000 - Boutique Hotel
Prime Investment Opportunity – Westlands, Nairobi
| Business Boutique Hotel |
Positioned in the heart of Westlands, Nairobi’s premier commercial and residential hub, The King Post Business Boutique Hotel presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational hospitality asset with significant redevelopment upside.
Set on 1.13 acres along Rhapta Road, just 400 meters from the Waiyaki Way expressway junction, the property enjoys seamless connectivity to JKIA (approx. 15 minutes) and key business districts. Its strategic location is further enhanced by ongoing infrastructure growth and a new retail mall anchored by Carrefour nearby—driving increased footfall and demand.
