Fairmont The Norfolk Hotel is an institution on the colorful streets of Nairobi, Kenya. A cultural gathering spot for over one hundred years the Norfolk is an oasis of tranquility, with private tropical gardens, a heated outdoor swimming pool, and the legendary Lord Delamere Terrace where travelers and locals alike have met since the days of colonial Africa. Sophistication and elegance permeate the luxurious rooms and suites, and harkens back to a day when tea was served on a silver tray, even in the bush. Whether you have come to Nairobi as a starting point for a safari, or to see the city's many sights, The Norfolk offers guests an exclusive view of Africa.

Excellent stay, staff lovely, room clean and comfortable. Afternoon tea, worth a try. Food good especially the cocktail bar! Good stopping off point before going on safari. Would recommend pollmans for transport and the African collection as agents.

If you are in Nairobi on business and need to be in the "city" I would recommend this hotel. This is not a hotel for a leisure traveler looking for better aesthetics, there are much better accommodations and prettier views in the suburbs of Nairobi than in town. However that said if you need to been town this fits the bill. Great price/value for your accomodations. The rooms are nice, well appointed but bathrooms are on the small side yet modern. Flat screen tv's, internet etc. The bar is fun and always people there. Room service was good and food was pretty good.

My husband and I flew directly here from San Francisco to kickoff our honeymoon. We loved our three night stay here and highly recommend this luxurious stay before kicking off safari. We loved the breakfast buffet every morning which was out of control good and spent a few hours by the pool every day. Really great stay and hospitality!
