A four star airport hotel in Greater Nairobi, twelve kilometres from the centre, with a pool, spa, gym and free wifi. It suits flyers and one night stopovers; it does not suit anyone who wants the Central Business District on foot.
01What it is
Four Points By Sheraton Nairobi Airport is a four star property out in Greater Nairobi, and its list is long: air conditioning, free wifi, free car parking, a fitness centre, a swimming pool, a spa with massage and steam room, restaurant and bars, room service, business centre and banquet space, plus a shuttle service, 24 hour front desk, concierge, currency exchange and family rooms. The airport end of the list is what carries the place. Where it thins out is anything tied to the city: no detail on views, no sense of the grounds beyond a garden and terrace, and nothing that would let you treat it as a base for the centre.
For someone staying at Four Points By Sheraton Nairobi Airport, the list adds up to a self-contained stop: you land, you sleep, you eat, you swim or sit in the spa, and you go. The 24 hour front desk, luggage storage, express check in and shuttle service cover the awkward hours that come with flights. It suits a single night before or after a flight, families who need cots and family rooms, and anyone who wants facilities rather than a location. It does not suit a visitor whose trip is the Central Business District and the markets, because you would be starting and ending each day out in Greater Nairobi.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Muthurwa and the east markets, 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 Muthurwa and the east markets is only the nearest of the ten. That is the whole point of the distinction: you are sleeping outside the grid, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The quarter itself is the eastern edge of the grid: wholesale produce, bus termini, before dawn. Trucks, handcarts and the entire city’s vegetables changing hands at 5am. It is the wholesale edge, where Muthurwa’s market and the country bus termini push up against the railway land, and it feeds the rest of the grid. Best for an early-morning market walk with someone who knows it. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, and mornings are the only sensible time. Muthurwa sits 1.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 16 minutes on foot in a direct line, and that figure describes the quarter, not your journey from these hotels.

Book this one if your trip is the flight, not the city. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and you book them through app.impt.io. Every confirmed booking removes one tonne of CO2, at no extra cost to you. Five percent of what you pay comes back as IMPT credit, out of the hotel commission rather than added to your bill.

06Questions
Where exactly is Four Points By Sheraton Nairobi Airport?+
It is on Tower Avenue in Greater Nairobi, at 9042 1044 Tower Avenue. That puts it 12.21 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 153 minutes on foot in a direct line. The airport side of the city is the point of staying here.
What does the hotel actually have on site?+
Four Points By Sheraton Nairobi Airport lists a pool, spa, steam room, massage, fitness centre, restaurant and bars, room service, free wifi, free car parking, business centre, banquet space, family rooms, cots and a shuttle service, with a 24 hour front desk and concierge.
How do I get into the Central Business District from here?+
You travel. The property is 11.03 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The centre is a daytime quarter, the halls shut in the late afternoon, so plan a morning and a return while it is still light.
What does the guest score mean?+
Four Points By Sheraton Nairobi Airport holds 4.6 out of 5 from 4859 reviews. That is a large, consistent body of guest feedback rather than a handful of opinions. Treat it as a good sign for the room and the service, not as a reason to ignore the distance from the centre.
