Photos have surfaced showing the sprawling Encore Hotel and Resort, a multi-million-shilling hospitality project linked to Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika that is fast emerging as one of Nakuru city’s most prominent landmarks.
The upscale facility boasts 205 elegantly designed rooms, including deluxe and executive suites, as well as an exclusive Presidential Suite, positioning it to attract high-end corporate clients and premium leisure travellers.
Designed with business and events tourism in mind, the property also features 23 modern meeting rooms, a grand ballroom, and a sprawling 3,500-square-metre landscaped events garden, making it suitable for conferences, weddings, and large-scale functions.
However, the project has previously sparked political controversy.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has in the past accused Governor Kihika of squandering county funds to develop the hotel — claims that have fueled debate over the source of financing.
The hotel is expected to open its doors soon, potentially boosting Nakuru’s hospitality and conference tourism sector.
