Radisson Blu shuts its Upper Hill outlet
Monday December 14 2020
By PATRICK ALUSHULA
Summary
Radisson Blu says the decision to send employees home was aimed at mitigating the economic impact of Covid-19 on the business.
The decision mirrors what was taken by the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts in late May when they closed Fairmont The Norfolk and Fairmont Mara Safari Cub due to low business and laid off all employees.
Global hotel brand Radisson Blu has halted its operations in Nairobi’s Upper Hill and sent most of its staff home as bookings remain low due to Covid-19 pandemic.
The closure comes at a time the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) survey on hotels has shown that bed occupancy remains low, averaging 23 percent in November and October, compared to 24 percent in September.
