History of Hotel Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club
Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club has an interestingly royal history that catalyzes the destination to have influential holiday dominance.
This masterpiece of a hotel stems from a love story between a tourist and a guide. Rhoda Prudhomme was a tourist and Gabriel was her guide.
Rhoda was on her big game hunting safari in Mount Kenya when she met Gabriel, her guide during the safari. Out of the deep connection during the game hunt safari, Rhoda fell in love with Gabriel.
Gabriel as a handsome young man from France and Rhoda in her 50s, couldn’t resist the appeal of the strong young man who was hunting and shooting to kill. This ended up shooting some love interests among them and married in the 1930s.
This saw the couple acquire the land that the modern Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club sits on from Mrs. Wheeler. Interestingly, the land was purely set aside for ‘lovers only’ to inhabit.
After the construction of their initial house, Rhoda named the house Mawingo, meaning clouds to the couple. In 1948 the house turned out to be an inn after it was purchased by Abraham Block.
However, William Holden, an American actor and one of the biggest box-office personalities of the 1950s, visited the place, fell in love with it, and purchased it, in 1959.
William Holden’s purchase turned it into the most exquisite and unusual club in the world.
This saw famous personalities become founding members of the club under the ownership of William. Some of the influential personalities include Sir Winston Churchill, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Lord Louis Mountbatten, Robert Ruak, Conrad Hilton, and US President Lydon Johnson.
The historical influence of this hotel is evident in the main building and the original ‘William Holden Cottages’. The trophy lounge features leather seats and hunting trophies.
