About

Elegant rooms in a plush property offering a spa, an outdoor pool & 3 restaurants, plus a bar.

A historic five-star hotel in the heart of the CBD with live blues in the bar and the kind of old-school service where staff greet you warmly even at 1am. The Karen Blixen Suite is the splurge, but the Stanley Club rooms come with attentive personal service that makes the stay.

    Hotel is very classic and most underlining thing during the stay was a great and friendly service you get there. We booked Stanley Club Room and got very extraordinary service from Maxwell and Olive. Full of history and stories. Of course, as it is located in the very heart of the city in CBD, traffic to get there and from might take some time. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and full of old spirit.

    It's a fantastic place to stay since all necessities like food and drinks are sold within the hotel. It's a serene place to have meetings because of the quiet and harmonious environment. Everything about the place is fantastic, the only reason the location is 4 stars it's because when you leave the hotel and the first thing to visit you is the loud busy town which is the opposite of the inside of the hotel. Apart from that it's an amazing place to be in

    Sarova Stanley is centrally located in Nairobi’s Central Business District and stands among the top five-star hotels in the city. My wife and I stayed in the luxurious Karen Blixen Suite, named in her honor, and enjoyed an unforgettable luxury experience in the very heart of Nairobi. From the moment we arrived, a highly dedicated team was on hand to provide exceptional, personalized service. It is this unwavering commitment to excellence that truly defines Sarova Stanley and sets it apart as one of the finest hotels in Nairobi. Staying at Sarova Stanley is about far more than just a room or suite.

  • Tara B.Google review · 3 Nov 2025

    Lovely rooms, restaurant and room service food was great, breakfast lovely, staff fab. Great atmosphere inc blues music. Only negatives - took so long and lots of chasing to get a cot and was nearly midnight by the time we got (we arrived after 10pm or close to). Big shout out to one of the staff in the downstairs restaurant/ breakfast next morning (15-17 October). My mind has gone blank on her name but so sweet and great with kids.

    I arrived after 1 am and I still had a great welcome from the staff. They were sweet and gave us a brief regarding the hotel. I stayed for 4 days, in general the staff of the hotel are always friendly and welcoming. My only issue was that bathrooms didn't have a bidet for the toilets. You should take that into consideration, especially with a lot of Muslims & Arabs coming around. Great hotel nonetheless!
