History

The Lotus Hotel is a boutique hotel, located a few  meters away from the original Kenya Uganda railway platform.  In the early days this was a gathering place and way station for colonial administrators and European settlers.  

Settlers would plough land upcountry and come to holiday on the Mombasa beaches, staying sometimes for 3 months at a time and monitoring their farms from here.

Two ancient  lotus flowers initially graced the sheltered terrace area and the signature hotel arches made by Indian craftsmen, is a showcase of the fusion of cultures that Mombasa destination is founded upon.

For a cultural Mombasa experience, be sure to book your stay at the Lotus.
