A four star business hotel on Ngong Road, a New concrete ridge built for the car and the conference room. The M P Hotel suits someone with meetings, a car and early starts, and it does not suit anyone who wants to walk out of the lobby into the centre of Nairobi. The distance decides it before anything else does.
01What it is
M P Hotel lists the working parts of a four star Nairobi business hotel: a 24 hour front desk, lifts, a concierge and bell boy, a business centre, a meeting room, a restaurant, a bar or lounge, breakfast, dry cleaning, free parking and free internet in the lounge. Leisure facilities run to a health club, an outdoor pool, a sauna, a steam bath and a spa. The list is contradictory rather than thin in places: it shows both pets allowed and pets not allowed, and shuttle service is named with no route or address attached.
For someone at M P Hotel this adds up to a self-contained stay. You can land late, eat, hold a meeting, use the health club and park without leaving the compound, and New concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room is the street you are on. It suits a business visitor with a vehicle, a delegate at a conference or anyone who wants the hotel to be the whole day. It does not suit a leisure visitor who wants markets and cafes on foot, and the contradiction between pets allowed and pets not allowed means pet owners should confirm before booking.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters to them, which is not the same as being in it. Treat the quarter as a reference point, not an address. Anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and out.
The quarter itself is the western ridge above the centre: new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. It is not the CBD proper but the ridge immediately above it, and the place most of the CBD's office space has been moving to since the 2000s: 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 lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.

Book M P Hotel if you want the working parts of a four star business hotel in one compound and you are not relying on the street outside; confirm your pet and shuttle arrangements directly first, because the facility list disagrees with itself on both. 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.
