A three star apartment block on Argwings Kodhek Road in Kilimani, on the new concrete ridge above the centre. It lists wifi, parking and wheelchair access and nothing else, and it is built for the car and the conference room. That decides it for you.
01What it is
Lux Suites Sandalwood Apartments is a three star property on Argwings Kodhek Road in Kilimani, in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities are short and functional: free wifi, free car parking and wheelchair accessible access. Those three are the ones a visitor would actually tick off, and the parking matters most here, because the street itself is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. What is thin is everything else. There is no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no pool and no airport transfer on the list, so you should not arrive expecting the property to cover meals or an evening.
Lux Suites Sandalwood Apartments works best if you are in Kilimani for a conference, a hospital round or a longer stay where a kitchen and a parking space beat a hotel lobby. It is 1.95 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and 3.48 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 44 minutes on foot in a direct line. Greater Nairobi is not the centre: it is safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Suits drivers and self caterers. Does not suit anyone who wants to walk out of a lobby into the Central Business District.

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.

Book Lux Suites Sandalwood Apartments only once you have checked that the apartment layout and the parking space are the ones you need, because the listed facilities are thin enough that the room type does the work. 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.
