Luxury and Sustainability Meet LG’s Multi V 5 at Glee Nairobi

When Glee Nairobi, a new luxury hotel in Kenya’s capital, opened its doors, it aimed to be more than just another five-star property. Its vision was to combine the convenience of a city hotel with the peace of a private retreat. With 211 elegantly designed rooms ranging from superior and deluxe to executive suites and a presidential suite with its own pool, the hotel set out to deliver comfort, style, and unforgettable guest experiences.
But luxury today goes beyond plush interiors. Guests now expect hotels to deliver comfort in a way that is sustainable, reliable, and energy efficient. That is where LG’s HVAC technology stepped in, helping the hotel live up to its promise and aligning with LG’s global message, Life’s Good.

In hospitality, guest comfort is non-negotiable. At the same time, energy use is one of the largest cost drivers for hotels, with air conditioning alone accounting for up to 40 percent of a building’s energy consumption. Finding a balance between comfort and efficiency is critical.
To meet this challenge, Glee Nairobi chose LG’s Multi V 5 Inverter Compressor System . This advanced system automatically adapts to changes in heating and cooling demand, ensuring guests always enjoy the right room temperature. The hotel, in turn, benefits from significant reductions in electricity bills thanks to the system’s seasonal efficiency and wide-ranging modulation capabilities.

Luxury is not only about looks. It is also about seamless experiences. Glee Nairobi required a system that could be easily controlled across hundreds of rooms and various hotel spaces. The solution came in the form of LG’s AC Smart 5 controllers , each capable of managing up to 128 indoor units.
In this project, two controllers now run the entire guest room management system. Staff can remotely control temperatures, optimize energy use, and even conduct preventive maintenance checks without disturbing guests.
The sleek, compact design of LG’s solutions means that technology blends smoothly into the hotel’s décor. Guests enjoy quiet comfort while staff enjoy convenience and control. This integration highlights how smart hotel technology can redefine luxury and efficiency in modern hospitality.

For a five-star property, reliability is everything. LG followed its proven Field Engineering Process (FEP) during installation, which includes four stages of project review and on-site training. LG’s engineers worked side by side with the project team, conducting monthly site visits and issuing detailed reports to ensure every standard was met.
The hotel also benefits from the LG MV troubleshooting system, which quickly identifies and resolves issues. With a failure rate of less than 1 percent across hundreds of machines sold worldwide, LG’s HVAC systems give Glee Nairobi the confidence to focus on what matters most, delivering world-class hospitality.

What sets LG apart is its ability to provide end-to-end solutions for the hospitality industry. In addition to HVAC, LG supplies hotel TVs and electronic systems, creating a seamless technology ecosystem for both guests and hotel managers.
For Glee Nairobi, this one-stop approach means easier procurement, better integration, and a cohesive guest experience. From the temperature of a guest’s room to the TV they watch, LG ensures every touchpoint enhances comfort and convenience.

The partnership between LG and Glee Nairobi is a showcase of how technology, luxury, and sustainability can come together. By installing the Multi V 5 system and supporting it with smart controls, LG has helped the hotel achieve energy savings while maintaining guest comfort at its core.
This case study reflects the spirit of LG’s global campaign Life’s Good. It shows that when innovation is used thoughtfully, businesses can achieve their goals, guests can enjoy unforgettable experiences, and the environment can be protected.
For the hospitality sector in Kenya and beyond, Glee Nairobi sets a new benchmark, and LG stands proudly as the technology partner, making it possible.

Hotels across Africa are looking for ways to deliver comfort without compromising sustainability. Multi V 5 system offers a proven solution that is reliable, energy-efficient, and tailored for modern hospitality. At Glee Nairobi, this means every guest feels at home while the hotel upholds its commitment to efficiency and environmental care.
