A three star hotel in Upper Hill and Community, built for the car and the conference room, with a pool and free parking. It suits business stays that want the centre nearby, and not people who want to step out of the lobby into the night.
01What it is
Plus 254 Hotel is a three star property on Olesangale Road, in Upper Hill and Community. The listed facilities are practical rather than decorative: 24 hour front desk, free wifi, free car parking, a business center, concierge, laundry and dry cleaning, luggage storage and multilingual staff. There is a restaurant, bars, a bar or snack cafe, a pool bar and a swimming pool, plus a terrace, free newspaper and wheelchair access. Where the list thins is on the leisure side: one pool, one terrace, no gym and no spa, and nothing beyond the bars once those close.
What that adds up to at Plus 254 Hotel is a work address with a pool attached. The desk runs all night, parking is free and on site, and the business center and concierge cover the things a conference or client visit needs. Upper Hill and Community is a daytime quarter, the halls shut in the late afternoon, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Book Plus 254 Hotel if you are here for work and moving by car. Skip it if you want the centre on foot or a street with a life after dinner.

04Standing in Upper Hill and Community
Upper Hill and Community sits on the western ridge, 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. The street feel is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. The quarter lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. That suits people here to work and people who want their evening contained. It does not suit anyone expecting street life outside the door. The streets are built for the car and the conference room, so plan to move by vehicle once the working day ends.
