Jacaranda Hotels first ventured into the Kenyan hospitality industry in 1964. The Pizza Garden provided snacks and beverages for tourists on transit. The popularity of the establishment brought with it the necessity for a bigger facility with accommodation for discerning patrons.

The many Jacaranda trees on location provided the perfect name which today is synonymous with quality and hospitality.

 In 1973, a World Bank Conference was to be staged in Nairobi. The Jacaranda only had 40 rooms, which was hardly enough for all the expected guests and dignitaries. The need for further expansion arose and two extra wings were built to house 80 more rooms. At the time, it was just after independence and there existed opportunities for growth hence the need for professionalism.

Jacaranda Hotels has been managed by different hands among them Alliance Hotels, Quality Inn and Block Hotels.

Jacaranda hotel-Nairobi was Land mark hotel during the block hotels tenure. In October 2003, the management contract with Block hotels came to an end Jacaranda Hotels Kenya was then formed.
