The Concord Hotel And Suites is a four star address on Wangapala Road, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre, and it is a driver's hotel: the pool, the spa and the kitchenettes are what you are paying for, and the crossing into town is the thing you have to live with.
01What it is
The Concord Hotel And Suites lists a full indoor operation: indoor pool and swimming pool, spa, sauna, steam room, massage, fitness centre, restaurant, bars, lounge, banquet rooms and a business centre, with 24 hour front desk, 24 hour security, concierge, laundry, dry cleaning, room service and free parking. Rooms come with air conditioning, bath, bathrobe, slippers, toiletries, TV and telephone, and many have a kitchen, kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator, oven, toaster, dishwasher and coffee making. Breakfast is served, including buffet and in room, and wifi is free. Family rooms, cots and high chairs are listed, and the property is wheelchair accessible. The list is thin on the front step: no garden, no terrace, and nothing that gives you somewhere to sit outside.
What that adds up to at The Concord Hotel And Suites is a self contained four star building: you can swim, eat, work and sleep without leaving it, and if you take a suite with a kitchen you can feed yourself rather than eat out every night. The guest score is 4.4 out of 5 from 2985 reviews, so the operation is used and broadly satisfied. It suits people with a car, people on business who want the whole day handled inside one address, and families who need the extra room. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk to the centre, because it does not sit in the centre and the road out is a transport edge rather than an evening one.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels sit outside the ten quarters of the centre this site covers, on the edge of the centre in the wider city, and Ngara and the Globe is only the nearest of the ten quarters, not the one you are sleeping in. Treat it as a base you travel in and out of: anything in the CBD means a crossing by car rather than a walk from your door.
Ngara and the Globe is the northern edge of the grid, where the grid loosens and the roads north begin, and the Globe Cinema roundabout is the CBD's northern hinge. The fruit market beside it opens at four in the morning, Museum Hill is the next rise beyond, and 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 after dark it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, to be crossed by car. The quarter itself lies 0.81 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 11 minutes on foot in a direct line.

06Questions
Where exactly is The Concord Hotel And Suites?+
It is on Wangapala Road in Greater Nairobi, not in the central business district. The site counts it as 2.71 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so treat it as a base you reach and leave by car.
Does The Concord Hotel And Suites have a pool?+
Yes. The listed facilities include an indoor pool, plus spa, sauna, steam room, massage and a fitness centre. That indoor set is the reason many people pick this address over a smaller place in the centre, because you can use it regardless of the weather.
What is it like getting into the centre from Greater Nairobi?+
The property is 3.39 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 43 minutes on foot in a direct line. The street itself 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, so cross it by car.
What does the guest score mean?+
The Concord Hotel And Suites scores 4.4 out of 5 from 2985 reviews. That is a solid, well used four star result rather than a flawless one, and the volume means the number reflects a lot of stays rather than a handful of opinions.
