Kenyatta International Convention Centre (Business Hub)

The Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) is a 28-story landmark in the heart of Nairobi's central business district and has been Kenya's premier venue for international conferences since its completion in 1973. Designed by Norwegian architect Karl Henrik Nøstvik, the building is celebrated for its unique fusion of modern skyscraper design and traditional African architectural motifs, most notably its conical plenary hall. Standing 105 meters tall, it was the tallest building in East Africa for several decades and remains a potent symbol of Kenya's post-colonial ambition and economic strength. The facility hosts major global events, including United Nations conferences and international trade fairs, significantly contributing to the local hospitality and tourism sectors. The revolving restaurant and open-air rooftop observation deck provide panoramic views of the city, making it a popular destination for visitors. Managed as a state corporation, the KICC is central to Kenya's strategy of becoming a leading global hub for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE).
