The only challenge is the taxi drop off and pickup needs to be clearer or provide assistance to its wonderful inside location.

I recommend Serena Hotel for business meetings, where you can have productive conversations over a wonderful lunch or dinner. You can also stay in a safe and comfortable environment and exploring Nairobi and its surrounding areas – there is plenty to see! I recommend visiting the National Museum, the National Gallery, and some small private galleries.

I booked this hotel for a one-night stay after our flight was canceled and our journey home was delayed until the next day. I chose the hotel because of its location in a safe area with good shopping options. We had a spacious suite with a kitchen, and it was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. The included breakfast was really good. We also had lunch at the hotel restaurant, which was good and reasonably priced. My kids had a quick swim in the pool, even though the weather wasn’t great, but it was a nice pool. The staff were very helpful, especially when it came to making sure we could get safely to the airport, as the city was shut down due to protests. I can definitely recommend this place.

All five-star hotels in Nairobi

Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.
