A two bedroom serviced apartment on Hatheru Road in Lavington, on the ridge west of the centre, built for people who want a kitchen, a lift and a parking space rather than a room and a lobby. The pool and the security are the draw. The distance from the centre is the thing that decides it.
01What it is
Furnished 2 Bedroom Apartment in Lavington Nairobi is a four star apartment block on Hatheru Road, with the full domestic kit: kitchen and kitchenette, oven, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, iron and board, and a lounge and balcony or patio to go with them. It lists an indoor pool and a swimming pool, free wifi, free car parking, a lift, 24 hour security, housekeeping and cleaning, laundry, a safe, smoke detectors and wheelchair access. Family rooms come with a cot and high chairs, and pets are allowed. Two things are worth flagging. The list is broad but thin on detail: no gym, no restaurant, no meeting rooms. And it names both a swimming pool and an indoor pool, which is one facility described twice, not two.
For someone staying here, that adds up to self sufficiency. You cook, you wash, you park on site, and the building is staffed around the clock. Express check in and a car rental or shuttle service help at the edges of a stay. This is not a hotel in any useful sense, and it does not pretend to be: there is no bar to sit in, no room service, and no reason to linger in the lobby. Furnished 2 Bedroom Apartment in Lavington Nairobi suits families, small groups and people in Nairobi for weeks rather than nights, especially those with a car. It does not suit anyone who wants to be able to walk out into the centre, and it does not suit anyone who wants the city on the doorstep.

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.

Book this one early if you need the whole apartment over a school holiday or a conference week, because two bedroom units in this part of the city go first. 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.
