3-star hotels in Kericho
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Kericho, the county seat of Kericho County in Kenya's western highlands and the centre of the country's tea growing. Every place here is built from the booking supplier's record, and availability is checked live for your dates.
Staying in Kericho
Kericho is the county seat of Kericho County in the western highlands of Kenya, about 200 km northwest of Nairobi in a straight line and reached by road from the capital. It is the centre of Kenya's tea growing, and tea estates surround the town, so people come to be among the estates and to use the town as a base in the highlands.
The 3-star hotels on this shortlist sit along the roads that run through and around the town, including Kisumu Busia Road, Harambee Road, Temple Road, Nakuru Kisumu Highway and Kapsuser Road, as well as in Kericho itself and near the Kcc Roundabout. The range suits couples and short-break visitors who want a straightforward base, families passing through the highlands, and business travellers who need to be on the main road into town.
