Lenana Suites is a three star hotel on Lenana Road, on new concrete along a ridge built for the car and the conference room. The list covers the practical business of a working stay: front desk, parking, food, laundry. Whether it suits you turns on one thing, how much you need the centre on foot.
01What it is
Lenana Suites lists the working machinery of a business hotel. There is a 24 hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage, lifts and a safe. You get free wifi and free car parking, which matters on a road laid out for cars. There is a restaurant, a lounge, a meeting room and a terrace, plus an outdoor pool and a garden. Laundry and dry cleaning are on the list, and the property says it is wheelchair accessible. The list is thin on detail rather than on services: nothing is said about the size, the state or the outlook of the rooms themselves, so the facilities are the whole picture you have.
What that adds up to is a hotel organised around arriving by car and working indoors. Lenana Suites sits on Lenana Road among new concrete on a ridge, in Greater Nairobi rather than in the centre, and the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers is 2.02 km from Upper Hill and Community. It suits someone with business in Upper Hill or a conference booked nearby, who wants parking, a desk and a meal without leaving the building. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out of the lobby into the life of the central business district. After dark, this is hotel bars and a ride anywhere else.

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.
