A four star apartment block on Sportsroad in Westlands, with a full kitchen, a washing machine and a pool. It decides on one thing: you are outside the centre and you will travel in for it, so this place suits people who want to cook and park, not people who want the city at the door.
01What it is
Royal Living Pure definition of luxury lists the appliances first: kitchen, oven, microwave, refrigerator, toaster and washing machine, with iron and board, sheets, towels and toiletries provided. Rooms come with a desk, TV, sofa bed, bath and shower, and some have a balcony, patio or terrace. The building has lifts, free wifi, free car parking, a fitness center, a garden and a swimming pool, and it accepts pets. Two gaps are worth naming: no restaurant or breakfast is listed among the facilities, and the address sits on an eleventh floor of Marina Bay Square, so confirm which entrance and lift you need before you arrive.
What that adds up to is a self-catering base in Westlands rather than a hotel in the centre. Royal Living Pure definition of luxury suits a longer stay, a family, or anyone with a car, because you cook, you park free, you wash clothes, and you keep pets if you have them. It does not suit a first-time visitor who wants to step out into the Central Business District, since this is Greater Nairobi and the shopping streets are a separate trip. The quarter you would travel to is a daytime one, so plan your evenings here, not there.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
Before you book, be clear about where these hotels are. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of those quarters, which is not the same as being in it. You are in the wider city here, and every trip into the Central Business District is a journey in and out.
The market quarter itself is narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. The oldest retail streets in the city: Biashara for cloth and haberdashery, Muindi Mbingu for flowers, and the 1930s City Market hall behind them for produce, curios and a fish counter. Jamia Mosque's three silver domes close the block. It is best for kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. After dark it is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. It lies 0.63 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 8 minutes on foot in a direct line.

What is Westlands like at night?+
The area this site covers around the centre is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. Westlands itself is a separate district and this site does not describe its nightlife, so treat the address as somewhere to return to rather than somewhere to step out from.
How do I check availability at Royal Living Pure definition of luxury?+
Availability is shown through the booking link on this page at app.impt.io, where the room types and the free cancellation terms are set out. The property has twelve photos on file, so look through those for the layout of the kitchen, the balcony and the pool before you decide.
