The Embassy of Kenya/The Omni Shoreham Hotel - Washington, D.C.

On Friday, December 12th, The Embassy of Kenya in Washington, D.C. hosted their Independence Day Celebration, known as Jamhuri Day, at the Omni Shoreham in Washington, D.C. The event kicked off with a message from H.E. Ambassador Peter Ogego followed by a delicious dinner and entertainment by Cold Spring Elementary School Chorus, who sang a number of holiday songs, and a Kenyan Gospel Choir group from Atlanta who sang in Swahili to the beat of African drums.

The Omni Shoreham is a beautiful four-diamond hotel and is conveniently located on Calvert Street in NW Washington, DC. It would be an excellent venue for any special event! Here are some pictures from the gorgeous lobby area and the Independence Day Celebration for you to get a feel of what the hotel is like.






From top: two pictures of the hotel lobby area. The in-house interior designer did an amazing job creating a festive holiday feel. Next, a picture of the Cold Spring Elementary School Choir. They were wonderful! Finally, two shots of the Kenyan Gospel Choir from Atlanta. They were dressed in beautiful traditional clothing and had an amazing drummer!

Overall, I had a wonderful time and the event and would recommend the venue for any special occasion!
