The Treetops Hotel in the heart of the Aberdares Forest of Central Kenya has for decades been a symbol of royalty, opulence, and the complicated history between the Kenyan highlands and the British monarchy.
The hotel became famous on February 5, 1952, when the then Princess Elizabeth visited with her husband Prince Phillip, for the night, and became Queen Elizabeth II the following day after the death of her father.
