About the hotel

Gardens in the middle of the city.

Nairobi Serena Hotel sits in its own gardens beside Central Park, in the heart of the city. It is a comfortable, practical base for a night before or after a safari: Wilson Airport, where most safari flights leave from, is about 7 km away. Etana works with the hotel and can include it in a journey you plan with us.

Its 199 rooms and suites look over the gardens or the city skyline, and the interiors draw on East and West African art and textiles. There is a heated outdoor pool, the Maisha Spa, and several places to eat and drink, from Mandhari, with a Tuscan-inspired menu, to Herbs & Spices for Pan-Asian dishes.
