About Crowne Plaza Nairobi

Set in the commercial area of Upper Hill, Nairobi, the Crowne Plaza is excellently placed for a city stopover. A thirty-minute drive from Jomo Kenyatta Airport and 10 minutes from the city centre, it offers obvious convenience with a touch of class. There are top-notch facilities, from multiple restaurants and a well-equipped gym to a glistening lap pool and spa and, whether you're a traveller in transit to the country's wilder regions or someone on serious business, the Crowne makes a compelling case for a few nights' stay.

206 Rooms

Nairobi, Kenya

What you'll love

The glittering skyline views from your room or from the hotel terrace, that both go perfectly with a fresh cup of Kenyan beans.

Insiders tip

Unlike many city hotels, the Crowne lets you keep your healthy habits while you travel thanks to the gym, personal training staff and an on-site juice bar.

Something to think about

If first-class business conveniences (speedy Wi-Fi and good communications) are your highest priority then this might not be your first choice.

The property

The shiny, slick facade of the Crowne is both imposing and inviting, and the lobby is a hive of efficiency – busy but well-staffed to cope with the constant turnover of coming and going guests. Dining options include a double story bar; Braza, an all-day restaurant that overlooks the terrace and swimming pool; and Sikia, the hotel's most elegant fine-dining offering. The main lounge also offers light meals, snacks and sandwiches in a low-key atmosphere. The state-of-the-art fitness centre is well-equipped and outside, the pool beckons.

The rooms

The 206 rooms are all spacious and well-appointed with views over Nairobi's skyline. From the Executive Suites down to the Standard Rooms, you'll find a good degree of luxury. The 13 Junior and Executive Suites are quite commodious with an additional lounge and an especially luxurious bathroom with a deep, deep bathtub - perfect for soaking away the safari dust! All rooms have air-con and internet, tea and coffee making facilities, and 24-hour room service.

Activities

Cultural

The Crowne sits within walking distance of a number of banks and embassies, but it's also easy enough to arrange a taxi into the city - just ask the concierge. For an authentic dose of culture, the open-air craft and food markets are a one-stop-shop. Uhuru Park in the city centre provides a bit of green reprieve amidst the high rises and Nairobi National Museum is a repository of heritage. Away from the city fracas is the Karen Blixen Museum, which sits on the property where the author wrote her famous adventure/romance, Out of Africa.

Show all wildlife

A land of stark contrast, where a rolling wilderness meets the rising buildings of a growing city, proving that harmony can be achieved in a modern world. Explore and discover a diverse range of wildlife in the Nairobi National Park; species like zebra, warthog, giraffe, buffalo and lion are in abundance with Black rhino sightings almost a given. There are leopard and cheetah, but these shy creatures can be a little more difficult to spot. This birdlife does not disappoint either with more than 400 species present in the region.
