Andhari Suites
How we took a hotel from idea to launch-ready
The Mission
When the owners came to us, they knew who the hotel was for: guests from Nairobi, and visitors flying in to experience Nakuru. What it should be — what would make anyone choose it over the alternatives — was still open.
What we delivered
The site visits answered it. Andhari sits next to Lake Nakuru National Park with the lake in view, and five minutes from Nakuru city. It was already two things at once — a lakeside retreat and an urban basecamp — and nobody had named that. We did, and built everything on it: a logo that tells both stories at a glance, the arch of a window fused with a sun setting over water. A palette of deep navy, warm beige and sunset orange, carried across stationery, staff uniforms and wayfinding signage. And one line to launch on — 'Where urban pulse meets lakeside serenity' — running through brochures, billboards and staff training, down to the concierge kits.
