Rooftop views and sunsets

Jewel of Lake Victoria.

Kisumu is famous for its sunsets, and there is no better place to watch them than our rooftop deck. Take in sweeping views over Lake Victoria and the Riat and Kajulu hills with a drink in hand, then head down to dinner at one of our two restaurants or the poolside grill. Beyond the hotel, the Kisumu Impala Sanctuary, Dunga Beach and the lively city centre are all a short drive away.

Waking up to Lake Victoria from the balcony of the Bay Suite was the highlight of my trip. Friendly staff, spotless rooms and the rooftop pool at sunset made Acacia Premier my first choice in Kisumu.

Booking took two minutes and I paid by M-Pesa on my phone. Fast Wi-Fi, a quiet room in Milimani and an airport transfer that was waiting for me. Everything a business trip to Kisumu needs.

We hosted a two-day regional workshop here. The meeting rooms, projectors and coffee breaks ran like clockwork, and our delegates loved the rooftop dinner overlooking the lights of Kisumu.

A spa afternoon, fresh tilapia at the restaurant and cocktails by the rooftop pool. Acacia Premier is the most relaxing weekend escape we have found in Kisumu, and the team made us feel at home.

Travelling with two children is easier when the staff go the extra mile. A spacious family room, a generous breakfast and a lovely view of the Kajulu hills. The kids still talk about the pool.
