Novotel Nairobi Westlands, a premier Accor property, is honouring mothers throughout May with curated experiences, culminating in a special Mother’s Day celebration on May 11.
Mother’s Day, observed globally on the second Sunday of May, celebrates motherhood and the profound impact of mothers. Its modern origins trace to Anna Jarvis, who, inspired by her mother’s community health advocacy, hosted the first U.S. Mother’s Day in 1907.
By 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared it a national holiday, a tradition now embraced in Kenya and worldwide. Rooted in ancient Greek and Roman festivals honouring mother goddesses like Rhea and Cybele, the day also highlights maternal health and the challenges mothers face, promoting support and resources for their vital role.
Novotel Nairobi Westlands invites mothers to unwind with a month-long staycation designed for tranquility.
“Our Mother’s Day staycation offers mums a serene escape into comfort and joy, available all May,” says General Manager Fabio Gonsalves. On May 11, the hotel will host a memorable brunch featuring flavorful dishes, live music, and thoughtful touches to celebrate mothers.
Opened in August 2024, Novotel Nairobi Westlands boasts 347 stylish rooms and suites, designed by RF Studio with a focus on adaptability and sustainability. The hotel offers 13 versatile meeting spaces, including a ballroom for over 100 guests, ideal for events and conferences.
Located in the dynamic Westlands area, just 20 minutes from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, it blends relaxation and adventure. Guests can explore nearby attractions like Nairobi National Park, the Giraffe Centre, modern malls, and the Maasai Traditional Market, catering to both families and business travellers.
This May, Novotel Nairobi Westlands celebrates mothers with experiences that honour their love and resilience, creating lasting memories.
