A four star apartment-style address on Wood Ave in Kilimani, on Greater Nairobi's ridge, 2.88 km from Upper Hill and Community. The listed facilities lean practical: parking, lifts, a front desk that stays open. It is built for the car and the conference room, so if your days are meetings in the centre and your evenings are hotel bars, this fits.
01What it is
Smart Homes The Enclave lists a 24 hour front desk, lifts, free car parking, wheelchair access and water, which is the practical spine of the place. Add a spa and a casino, and you have the two extras a four star address here tends to lead with. The list is thin on the things a longer stay asks about: there is no kitchen or laundry named, no restaurant or gym, and nothing about how the rooms are laid out. Parking and lifts are listed twice over, which tells you the page is short on detail rather than long on amenities. Take the listed facilities at face value and ask the front desk about the rest.
Smart Homes The Enclave sits on new concrete on a ridge, an area built for the car and the conference room, 4.26 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 54 minutes on foot in a direct line. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. That combination decides who it suits. If you are here for meetings, arrive by car and want parking, lifts and a desk that never closes, it works. If you want to walk out to dinner, or you are coming without a vehicle, it does 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.
