Sarova Stanley

Sarova Stanley is a 5-star hotel at the corner of Kenyatta Avenue and Kimathi Street in Nairobi's central business district. Opened in 1902 and named after explorer Henry Morton Stanley, it was Nairobi's first luxury hotel and is closely tied to the city's history, as the original home of the Nairobi Stock Exchange.

The hotel has 210 rooms and suites, including heritage suites and club rooms, with free Wi-Fi and 24-hour room service. Guests can eat at the open-air Thorn Tree Café under its famous acacia tree, try Continental and Indian dishes or Thai cuisine at the Thai Chi Restaurant, and relax in the wood-panelled Exchange Bar. A rooftop pool sits beside the Stanley Health Club, which has a gym, sauna and steam rooms.

Indoor and outdoor venues host conferences, launches, galas and weddings. Book through the Sarova Stanley website or call the hotel.
