Umbrella Hotel Maralal – Hotel in Maralal

Umbrella Hotel opened in 2022 in the heart of Maralal, the headquarters town of Samburu County in northern Kenya. It is an unusual set-up: the hotel is housed inside a mall, so a supermarket, a chemist and a range of small shops are on the same premises as the rooms.

The hotel has 50 executive rooms and suites aimed at both corporate and leisure travellers. Facilities include an infinity pool about 16 metres long, a modern gym with free weights, an open-air spa and wellness centre, a restaurant and bars. For meetings there are banquet and conference halls as well as boardrooms, which makes it a practical base for NGOs, county officials and teams working in Samburu.

Maralal is also a gateway to the Samburu highlands and the road north towards Lake Turkana.
