Westwood Hotel
Ranked in Best Luxury Hotels in Westlands
About
Tucked against Karura forest, this spot's breakfast terrace overlooks lush canopy where Sykes monkeys play in the branches. You're two minutes from Westlands but feel like you're nowhere near the city — there's even a river flowing below the property.

Secluded in nook of Karura forest. It has private areas that cascades to the steep floors of the undergrowth of Karura yet within two minutes of Westlands city centre. Great for private dining ass well as large parties of revellers. You have to see to believe top class accommodations overlooking tree tops of the forest on one side and Westlands skyscrapers on the other!

We go here nearly every time we are in Nairobi and it charms us every time. Our favorite moment is breakfast in the restaurant overlooking Karura forest. Mornings are usually crisp and the view is of wonderfully lush green tress with Sykes monkeys often playing among the branches. It is generally wheelchair accessible with the sad exception of the restaurant which must be reached by a long flight of stairs.

Cute, serene, great ambiance, great food. Awesome staff. Loved my experience, the monkeys though 😂

If you want to escape the City while you still are in the city? Look no further. Westwood is located near a forest, there's a River flowing nearby, you can see monkeys jumping here and there. Don't even talk about the interior, just another masterpiece.

My stay at this enchanting retreat was nothing short of magical. Tucked away in lush greenery, the hotel offers an unparalleled sense of tranquility. Waking up to the gentle sounds of a flowing stream just steps from my room was a daily delight—it felt like nature’s own lullaby. The proximity to the forest made every stroll feel like an adventure, with the crisp, fresh air and the occasional playful monkey sighting adding a touch of wilderness to the experience. It’s rare to find a place where luxury meets untouched nature so seamlessly. The serene environment, combined with the attentive yet unobtrusive service, made my stay unforgettable. Whether relaxing on the open deck with a book or exploring the nearby trails, every moment felt like a peaceful escape. If you’re looking for a getaway that rejuvenates the soul, this is the place. I’ll certainly be back!
