Kiluwa Apartments & Spa by Dunhill Serviced Apartments is a 3 star apartment block on Chaka Road in Greater Nairobi, on new concrete built for the car and the conference room. The spa, pool and sauna decide it. If you want to walk out of your door into a lively street, this is the wrong place.
01What it is
Kiluwa Apartments & Spa by Dunhill Serviced Apartments is a 3 star serviced apartment block, and the list of facilities is long on the practical side. Free wifi and internet access, free car parking plus further parking, lifts, luggage storage, a safe, laundry service and dry cleaning service cover the working stay. There is a terrace, a smoking area, wheelchair access, and a banquet room for events. The wellness side is the real draw: an outdoor pool and swimming pool, a sauna, and a spa, with bars on site for the evening. The list is thin on food: no restaurant is named, so you are looking at the bars or arranging your own meals.
For someone staying here, that adds up to a self contained base in Greater Nairobi, which is 3.71 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 47 minutes on foot in a direct line. Kiluwa Apartments & Spa by Dunhill Serviced Apartments suits people here on business, conference delegates, and longer stays where a pool, a sauna and a spa after work matter more than the street outside. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk to the centre, to restaurants, or to anything after dark. The area is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Take the car or take a ride.

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.
