Nairobi Serena Hotel

The Nairobi Serena is a beautiful garden hotel just 10-minute walk from the city center. This is simply the best Hotel in Kenya. The Kenya hotels clean white silhouette rises at the edge of Nairobi’s extensive central park. Surrounded by its own tropical gardens, the hotel’s rather stark lines are softened by cascades of plants and flowers growing on terrace areas and individual balconies. From the gardens, terraces, swimming pool, and many of the rooms, there is a striking view of modern Nairobi’s distinctive skyline, especially beautiful at night.

The Serena can accommodate more than 300 guests in 197 luxurious double rooms. It has been accepted as a “leading Hotel of the World.” You are met by a livelier wearing doorman wearing white gloves and fresh carnation boutonniere. The Kenya Hotels’ beautifully appointed lobby is rich with colorful tile borders on walls and floors. Carved cedar paneling and brass accent pieces glow under skylight set off by a profusion of indoor tropical plants. A raised lounge area is inviting with velvet Swahili-style sofas. From there, you can look through wall-sized windows to the garden beyond.

Through out the hotel there is an abundance of natural light from windows and skylights. Many plants create the welcome effect of bringing the garden indoors, and you often hear the running water that is part of the landscaping. This enhances and unifies Serena decorative themes which have been drawn from all over Africa.

The Mandhari is one of Nairobi’s finest a la carte restaurants. The elegance of the food, fine linens and silver is perfectly complemented by the inspired use of Kisii stone from Western Kenya. Square columns are faced in hand-polished stone tiles and framed in cedar. The skylight overhead is edged in hanging plants.

Appropriately, since Mandhari means landscape in Swahili, one whole wall is hung with a unique Kisii stone mural carved into an African landscape. On the other side of the restaurant, the windows and dining terrace overlook the Serena’s panoramic view of Nairobi.
