A four star two bedroom apartment on Dennis Pritt Road in Kilimani, with a heated pool and a gym in the building. It suits people who want space and a parking bay more than they want to be in the middle of the centre.
01What it is
Luxurious Two Bedroom With Heated Swimming Pool Well Equipped Gym Ample Parking Space And Children Playing Ground And Amazing Scenic City Views lists the things a two bedroom apartment needs to work as a base: a kitchen and kitchenette, a washing machine, a bathroom with shower, WC and towels, toiletries, slippers, a safe, a TV and a telephone. Outside the rooms it names a garden, a terrace and a balcony, so there is somewhere to sit that is not the bedroom. The list is at its thinnest on the work side: nothing here is described as a desk, and the facilities mix styles, with a kitchenette listed alongside a full kitchen, and a sofa bed alongside two bedrooms.
What that adds up to is a self contained flat on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, in the part of Nairobi where new concrete has gone up for exactly that purpose. Luxurious Two Bedroom With Heated Swimming Pool Well Equipped Gym Ample Parking Space And Children Playing Ground And Amazing Scenic City Views suits a family, a pair of colleagues or anyone staying several nights who wants to cook, park and use a pool without leaving the compound. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out of a lobby into bars and restaurants. After dark, this 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.

Request this apartment for the dates you want rather than assuming it is free, because a two bedroom that sleeps extra on a sofa bed is the first thing to go. 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.
Facts on this page come from the booking supplier's record: star class, address, photographs and facility list. Guest scores come from verified stays. Nobody from this site has stayed here; the quarter copy around it is this site's own.

Can I check whether the two bedroom is available for my dates?+
