A four star serviced apartment block on Church Road in Westlands, with parking, a restaurant, a bar, a business centre and a meeting room. What decides it for you is the car: you get free parking and a front desk that never closes, and you are well outside the old commercial centre.
01What it is
Fahari Palace Serviced Apartments is a four star property on Church Road in Westlands, in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities lean towards people staying a few nights on work: a 24 hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage, a business centre and a meeting room. There is a restaurant and a bar on site, free wifi and free internet access in the lounge, plus a free newspaper. Practical services are covered: housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning and a safe. Free car parking and bicycle hire are listed. The thin parts are the leisure side, where nothing is named beyond the bar, and a surcharge line that suggests extras are priced separately.
What that adds up to is a workable base for someone with a car and a reason to be in Westlands, and Fahari Palace Serviced Apartments makes few promises beyond the practical. The 24 hour front desk, free parking and business facilities are the real offer; the setting is a daytime quarter with narrow, shaded streets, and the halls shut in the late afternoon. Book it if you want an apartment with services and your own transport, and look harder at the centre if you plan to spend your days around Biashara Street and City Market, which is 3.96 km from Biashara Street and City Market, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
Before you book, be clear about where these hotels are. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of those quarters, which is not the same as being in it. You are in the wider city here, and every trip into the Central Business District is a journey in and out.
The market quarter itself is narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. The oldest retail streets in the city: Biashara for cloth and haberdashery, Muindi Mbingu for flowers, and the 1930s City Market hall behind them for produce, curios and a fish counter. Jamia Mosque's three silver domes close the block. It is best for kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. After dark it is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. It lies 0.63 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 8 minutes on foot in a direct line.
