A three star apartment block on Kindaruma Rd in Kilimani, on the northern ridge above the centre. Parking, a pool and step free access are the listed draws. If you want the Central Business District on foot, this is not the right base: it decides the booking.
01What it is
Lux Suites Myra Residences Kilimani is a three star address on Kindaruma Rd in Kilimani, in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities are short and practical: free car parking, an outdoor pool, and wheelchair accessible access. Two of those matter more than they sound here. The parking is the point, because this ridge was built for the car and the conference room, and a space of your own changes the whole shape of a stay. Step free access is the other one, and it is rare enough among smaller Nairobi apartment blocks that you should ask about it directly when you book. The outdoor pool is the third item and the weakest one: fine on a warm afternoon, not a reason to choose the place. There is no restaurant, no gym, no airport transfer and no work desk mentioned, so treat the list as the whole of what you can count on.
What that adds up to is a quiet, car dependent base on the northern ridge. Lux Suites Myra Residences Kilimani sits in a part of the city where new concrete has gone up for people arriving by vehicle and meeting in conference rooms, and the evening is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. It is 3.52 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 44 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 1.83 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. That tells you who it suits. It suits someone with a car, or someone whose days are booked around meetings in Kilimani, Upper Hill or the wider northern ridge, and who wants parking, space and a pool at the end of it. It does not suit a visitor who wants to step out of a lobby into the Central Business District. If your trip is built on the centre, on foot, stay nearer the centre.

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.
