A four star two bedroom apartment on Denis Pritt Road, in the new concrete on the ridge. It suits people here for a conference or a longer stay who will have a car; it does not suit anyone who wants the centre on foot, in daylight, or wants a street with life on it after dark.
01What it is
Modern 2 Bedroom Apartment is a four star self catering flat on Denis Pritt Road, in the greater Nairobi area, and the listed facilities are mostly the practical kit of a serviced apartment: a kitchen with an oven, microwave, refrigerator and toaster, a washing machine, an iron and board, towels, a hairdryer, a safe, and free wifi. There is a balcony, a terrace, a garden and a playground, a fitness center and an outdoor pool, free car parking and a garage, lifts, and wheelchair access. Where the list is thin is in the ordinary hotel business: it names a shuttle service, a laundry service and 24H security, and then stops, with no restaurant, no bar and nothing at all for a guest who wants dinner downstairs.
Modern 2 Bedroom Apartment is built around the car and the conference room, which is exactly what the ridge is for: you park, you drive to your meeting, you come back. Two bedrooms, a full kitchen and a washing machine make it work for a family or a group staying a week or more, and the pool, garden and playground give children somewhere to go that is not the street. The apartment does not work if you want the Central Business District on foot. It is 3.95 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 50 minutes on foot in a direct line, and after dark the area is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Take it if you have a car and a reason to be on this ridge; leave it if you do not.

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 this one directly if you want the whole flat rather than a room, and if you have already sorted how you will get around, because the ridge is not a place to arrive without transport. 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.
