Overview

From the day it opened its doors in 1902, Sarova Stanley, a 5 star hotel in Nairobi, has been making history - hosting royal safaris and a long line of living legends. The hotel has hosted many celebrities including modern stars like Isabella Rossellini, Michael Caine, Barbra Streisand and James Bond himself, the ageless Sean Connery. With this in mind, it is no wonder that the Sarova Stanley boasts it is one of the best hotels in Kenya.

Dining options include the well known open-air bistro style Thorn Tree Cafe, Thai Chi Restaurant - probably the most authentic Thai cuisine you will find in East Africa, the laid back Pool Deck Restaurant or sit back with a drink and light snack at The Exchange Bar.
