Nairobi Serena Hotel

Located on Nairobi’s Kenyatta Avenue and on the edge of Central Park, the Nairobi Serena Hotel offers guests a five-star experience, whether visiting for work or pleasure. The hotel was opened in 1975 and the pride of staff, quality culinary experiences and service standards set back then, are very much present today.

The quiet and lush gardens offer a tranquil space for guests to unwind, barely aware that just beyond the twinkling skyline of Nairobi lies a vibrant and busy business center. The cuisine is a high priority on the menu at the Nairobi Serena Hotel with an all-day dining option at Cafe Maghreb and a fine-dining option at the Mandhari Restaurant. There is an Ethiopian-inspired bar and a patisserie among other great options.

Meeting rooms for those needing to conduct business are available while guests looking to relax can enjoy time in the Maisha Spa and Health Club. Chill next to a heated swimming pool or in the sauna or steam room. Enjoy a drink in the Executive Lounge, get your hair done in the on-site hair salon or find a special souvenir in the gift shop. There are so many reasons to make the Nairobi Serena Hotel your hotel of choice when staying in Nairobi, it almost feels like you’re on a vacation within your vacation.

Exploring Nairobi National Park (NNP), which is approximately 5.7 miles from your hotel, is a fantastic way to experience wildlife close to the city.
