“In January 1998, I asked a Nigerian friend to put this dream into a real picture. He did it and I hanged the picture on the wall. Every morning, I would look at it and say, ‘thank you Lord for giving me a wonderful five-star hotel’’ 

Later the same year he sent money to his brother and asked him to buy a prime piece of land where he would build his hotel. Instead, his brother bought a waterlogged abandoned quarry. He was not discouraged and went on to seek building approvals. Working with a team of experts and architects, he was able to build the magnificent structure in Ruiru.

“This has been my most fulfilling entrepreneurship journey that has given Ruiru Town a new impetus as a hospitality and investment hub. Our dream has been to create a facility that evokes good memory about the client’s stay here,” he once said in an interview with The Standard.
