Dusit D2 Nairobi will hold a flag raising ceremony on Wednesday to mark the official reopening of the hotel.
Dusit was closed in January following a terror attack in which 21 people were killed.
Six DusitD2 properties across the world - in Thailand, Bhutan, China, Egypt and Dubai - hosted the DusitD2 Nairobi flag to show support to the hotel during its closure and in memory of the six colleagues lost during the January 15 terror attack.
After 19 hours of terror, gunfire, bloodshed and confusion, the siege at the DusitD2 hotel complex ended as it emerged that two of the attackers are from Kiambu and Nyeri.
On Wednesday, the flag will come back to Nairobi when it will be received by the general manager Michael Metaxas and a representative from the Ministry of Tourism at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
David Rudisha will be among those who will be present during the last mile run of the flag before reaching its destination.
Tourism CS Najib Balala and Thai Ambassador CherdkiatAtthakor will officially receive the flag at the Dusit D2 before handing over to Recce Squad for hoisting as national anthem is played.
