Acacia Tree Lodge is a 3 star property on Marula Lane in Greater Nairobi, 12.29 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The list runs to kitchenettes, family rooms and parking, so the garden setting and self catering decide whether it suits you.
01What it is
Acacia Tree Lodge, a 3 star property, lists the practical set: 24 Hour Front Desk, 24H. Security, Free Wifi, Internet access, Free car parking and Parking, plus a Garden and a Playground. Rooms come with Bathroom, Shower, WC, Towels, Toiletries and a Desk, and many have a Kitchenette, Microwave and Refrigerator, which is what makes the family rooms work. There is a Restaurant, Room Service, Lunch and Coffee on site, and housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning run alongside. The list is thin on anything beyond the room and the car: no gym, no pool, no meeting rooms, and beyond the restaurant and the garden, no shared lounge that the facilities name.
For a stay at Acacia Tree Lodge, the shape is clear. You are on a ridge outside the centre, 14.07 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 176 minutes on foot in a direct line, so you are not walking into town. The car rental service and shuttle service matter here, because the street is built for the car, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The lodge suits families, drivers and anyone staying several nights who wants a kitchenette and secure parking. It does not suit a visitor who wants to step out of the lobby into the centre.

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 a long way out, in the wider city, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters to them, which is not the same as being in it. Treat the quarter as a reference point, not an address. Anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and out.
The quarter itself is the western ridge above the centre: new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. It is not the CBD proper but the ridge immediately above it, and the place most of the CBD's office space has been moving to since the 2000s: the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies, and an expressway ramp to the airport. It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The quarter lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
