Fairmont The Norfolk Hotel Nairobi

A classic and elegant East African hotel, Fairmont The Norfolk is a five-star establishment that once formed the hub of what has become the bustling metropolis of Nairobi. The city has grown outward from this historic landmark. This much-loved treasure continues to be a favorite destination for travelers visiting Nairobi.

One of the hotel’s key features is its lush and beautifully maintained gardens, home to over 10 species of birds. The hotel offers deluxe rooms and luxurious suites, all nestled within this peaceful green space. Other on-site amenities include the Pambo Spa and Health Club and a heated outdoor swimming pool.

Guests can enjoy fine dining at two restaurants. Indulge in award-winning cuisine on the patio of Tatu Restaurant or enjoy traditional Kenyan flavors at the elegant Lord Delamere Terrace.

Nairobi National Park, located just 6.5 miles from the hotel, offers a unique opportunity for wildlife viewing near the city.
