Hotel Intercontinental in Nairobi, Kenya

Intercontinental, Nairobi, Kenya? That's not Disney.

No it is not, but I believe it is one of the locations Disney got ideas from for the Animal Kingdom Lodge.

The room layouts are very similar. So are some of the details.

Have a look at the carpet in Nairobi:

And the carpet in AKL:

One clearly reminds me of the other one. Same was true for the general pattern of the wallpaper and the overall look. I felt right at home when I got to my room in Nairobi.

Just noticed I cropped the AKL shot too much. Here's the full shot.

Similarity is mor obvious. So are the "hidden" Mickeys.
