A four star apartment block in Greater Nairobi, well outside the centre and built around self catering rather than a lobby. The one thing that decides it is your car: with one, the space and the distance work in your favour, and without one they do not.
01What it is
Nairobi Executive Suite lists as apartments with a kitchen or kitchenette, an oven, a microwave, a refrigerator and a washing machine, so you can cook and wash rather than live out of a bag. The rest of the list is long: air conditioning, a balcony or terrace, a lounge, a fitness centre, a spa, massage, an indoor pool and a swimming pool, a restaurant and a bar, breakfast, room service, a 24 hour front desk, lifts, free wifi and free parking with a garage. It is carpeted, has a desk, a safe and a TV, and it is wheelchair accessible. Where the list is thin is in the ordinary verification a traveller wants: no guest score is on file, and several entries such as golf, horse riding, a market and a beauty salon say nothing about how close they are or who runs them.
What that adds up to is a self contained base in Greater Nairobi rather than a hotel you step out of into the city. Nairobi Executive Suite sits 9.09 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 114 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 8.28 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The street there is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does, and after dark it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, crossed by car. Book it if you are driving, staying several nights, and want an apartment with parking and a kitchen. Do not book it if you want to walk to meetings in the centre or spend your evenings on foot.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Ngara and the Globe, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Ngara and the Globe is only the nearest of the ten. Treat that as the honest starting point: you are outside the centre, and anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and back out again.
The quarter itself is the northern edge, where the grid loosens and the roads north begin. The Globe Cinema roundabout is the CBD's northern hinge, the fruit market beside it opens at four in the morning, and Museum Hill is the next rise beyond. The street feel is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. It suits early markets and the walk up to the National Museum, and it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, crossed by car. The quarter sits 0.81 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 11 minutes on foot in a direct line, but that measures the quarter, not your hotel.

Booking Nairobi Executive Suite makes sense only once you have settled how you will move around Greater Nairobi, because the apartment itself is the point and the centre is not within reach on foot. 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.
