A two bedroom serviced apartment on Kindaruma Road, on the ridge above the centre. The kitchen, the washing machine and the parking decide it: this suits someone settling in for a week or more with a car, and it does not suit anyone who wants the centre on foot.
01What it is
Elite Luxury Apartments Kilimani A 2 Bedroom Oasis of Serenity is a four star apartment address on Kindaruma Road, at Heartland Garden A504. The listing is built around the flat itself: two bedrooms, a kitchen with a microwave, refrigerator and toaster, a washing machine, iron and board, a sofa bed, a balcony or patio, and a garden and playground for children. It carries a cot and a high chair arrangement for a small child, a desk, a safe, a TV and DVD player, free wifi and internet access, and a fitness center. The front desk runs around the clock, there is security on site, parking is free, and there is a lift and wheelchair access. Breakfast is listed. Where the list thins out is dining and service beyond the flat: a car rental desk, laundry and cleaning, first aid, toiletries and towels, and little else.
What that adds up to for you is a self contained stay rather than a hotel one. At Elite Luxury Apartments Kilimani you cook, you wash clothes, you park your own car, and the staff cover the desk and the cleaning. The address is 2.05 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and 3.74 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 47 minutes on foot in a direct line, so the centre is a ride, not a stroll. The street itself is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Book it if you are in Nairobi for weeks rather than nights, with a car and a reason to be on this ridge. Do not book it if you want the CBD outside your door.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten. That puts you in the wider city rather than in the grid itself, so anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby into it.
The ridge above the centre is new concrete, built for the car and the conference room: 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 sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line, though that is the quarter's own distance and not a walk from these hotels.
