A four star hotel on Kikambala Road in Kileleshwa, on a ridge built for the car and the conference room. The facilities are complete for a business stay if you have a vehicle and no reason to walk into the centre. If you want the daytime quarter on foot, the distance is the deciding fact.
01What it is
37 On Kikambala Kileleshwa lists the full business set: a 24 hour front desk, concierge, meeting room, free wifi, free car parking and a safe. Alongside that it names laundry service, dry cleaning, luggage storage and wheelchair access, plus a garden, terrace, picnic area and outdoor pool for the hours you are not in a meeting. The list is thin on nothing you would notice, but there is a surcharge line attached to the services and it is worth confirming what it covers before you rely on it.
What that adds up to at 37 On Kikambala Kileleshwa is a self contained stay: you arrive by car, park free, work in the meeting room, eat and drink on site and sleep. The street is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. Suits drivers, business travellers and anyone content to take a car to the centre. Does not suit walkers or anyone who wants the city outside the gate.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters. That matters more than it sounds: you are staying in the wider city, and anything in the CBD means travelling in and out for it. The ridge itself is new concrete built for the car and the conference room, and most of the CBD's office space has been moving up there since the 2000s, which is why you find the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies and an expressway ramp to the airport on it. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
Upper Hill and Community is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. If you want the centre on foot, this is not the right base.
