Lux Suites Vesta Gardens Apartments is an apartment block on Ngong Road, on the ridge west of the centre, with a pool and parking and a kitchen in every unit. The thing that decides it: you are not staying in the Central Business District, you are a short ride out.
01What it is
Lux Suites Vesta Gardens Apartments is a four star apartment property on Ngong Road, in Greater Nairobi. The list is built around self catering: kitchen and kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, iron and board. You get air conditioning, free wifi, a TV, a balcony, patio and terrace, towels, toiletries, slippers, a bathroom with WC and bidet, and lifts to the floors. There is a swimming pool, listed as indoor, plus free car parking on site, family rooms and non smoking rooms. The list is thin on the things a hotel usually supplies: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no shuttle, no airport transfer, no reception hours, no laundry service, and no workspace described beyond the apartment itself.
What that adds up to at Lux Suites Vesta Gardens Apartments is a base for someone who wants an apartment rather than a room, and who is not trying to walk to meetings in the centre. The pool, the parking and the kitchen carry the stay. Families and longer visits fit here, and anyone arriving with a car does better than anyone relying on their feet. It does not suit a visitor who wants the Central Business District on the doorstep, or who wants a bar and a restaurant downstairs. The street is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: 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.
