A five star serviced apartment block on a ridge in Greater Nairobi, built for people arriving by car. Valet ease, a pool, a gym, a shuttle. You stay here if you want a fixed base and a ride into the centre, not street life outside the door.
01What it is
Imagine Luxury The Cozy Nook is a five star apartment property on Wood Avenue in Greater Nairobi, and the list it publishes is aimed at people who arrive with a car and a schedule. There is free parking and free car parking, a 24 hour front desk, lifts, and a shuttle service. Free wifi runs alongside free internet access in the lounge. A fitness center and an outdoor pool cover the exercise; a casino is on the list as well, and the property is wheelchair accessible.
The list is thin on the ordinary things. Nothing is said about kitchens, laundry or how the apartments are laid out, so you are choosing a five star label and a set of facilities rather than a described room. Imagine Luxury The Cozy Nook suits a driver or a conference goer who wants parking, a desk and a bed on a quiet ridge. It does not suit anyone who wants the centre on foot.

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.
