A four star golf and country club in Ridgeways, Greater Nairobi, built around a course, a pool and a spa. It decides itself by one thing: you want the grounds and the quiet, and you are content to reach the centre by car.
01What it is
Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club is a four star property on Kigwa Road in Ridgeways, off Kiambu Road, and the list leads with grounds rather than rooms: a golf course, mini golf, an outdoor pool and pool bar, a fitness centre, tennis court, spa, steam room, massage, aerobics and a garden with terrace, patio and picnic area. Inside there is free wifi, a business centre, restaurant and bar, breakfast in room, room service, laundry and dry cleaning, a 24 hour front desk with express check in, and family rooms with cots and high chairs. Every room carries a bath, shower, safe and television. The list is thin in one direction: there is no airport transfer detail, no meeting room count and no figure for how many rooms face the course, so you are taking the categories on trust.
For a guest, Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club adds up to a self contained day: golf, tennis, a swim, a spa treatment, a meal on site, and a room with a balcony to return to. It is not a base for walking the centre. It sits in Greater Nairobi, 7.94 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and the street there is a flyover, a roundabout and a market that starts before the light does. Suits golfers, families and anyone in Nairobi for grounds and parking. Does not suit anyone who wants the streets of the Central Business District 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.
