YOUNG was approached by a fairly large group from Africa to help create a new hotel brand in Nairobi, Kenya. The property is located in an existing building comprising of mixed development with local retail at the lower level & commercial office spaces on the next few floors. All higher floors of this building were smartly converted to Hotel rooms offering economical stay in the heart of the city.
A visit to the location and surroundings reflected the Kenyan culture. A blooming Orchid, which is the adopted national flower of Kenya, was interestingly merged into the Kenyan flag, and a distinguished ensemble that exuded warmth and hospitality was created. The flower represented progression and beauty. A brown and beige palette was used to compliment the logo as a whole and lend a quality of grandeur in simplicity.
The new look helped the brand attain higher occupancy and along with a premium look to the property. All collaterals put together enabled higher visibility to the brand. Even the digital platforms started yielding higher yield and conversion rate improved drastically.
