Fortunas Resort – Resort in Meru

Fortunas Resort brings an unexpected alpine theme to Meru County. It sits along the Nkubu–Mitunguu Road, 200 metres below Consolata Hospital, and was designed with European touches: a Tuscan-inspired driveway, Versace-themed balconies and a lantern-lit tunnel modelled on the gardens of Vienna's Schönbrunn Palace, which leads into a "Garden of Senses" with fireplaces, gazebos and floating stairs.

Accommodation is intimate, with five rooms ranging from a spacious Family Room to Premium Gold and Premium White editions. Every room has free WiFi, an en-suite bathroom and tea and coffee facilities.

The restaurant serves continental and African cuisine, backed by an alpine bar, a hexagon fireplace bar and terrace dining. Modular boardrooms and conference halls host workshops and retreats, and the grounds are used for weddings and events. Guests also mention the swimming pool.
