Beautiful in its symmetry and flooded with natural light, this 45-suite, plantation-style boutique hotel elevates the standard of luxury lodgings in Nairobi. Each of the 80-square-metre suites boasts a private balcony that overlooks the iconic silhouette of the Ngong Hills – a magical view which can also be enjoyed over sundowners at the bar.

And service is personal and sincere, so while you’re indulging at the spa, relaxing beside the pool or meandering through the gardens, back in your suite your butler will have dimmed the lights, adjusted your personalised pillows, set out your nightcap and arranged the morning’s outing down to the finest detail. Heavenly.
