Kwetu Nairobi, Curio Collection by Hilton, opened in Nairobi at the end of March, marking the debut of the Curio Collection by Hilton brand in East Africa and Hilton’s latest opening in the Kenyan capital.
The hotel is near the central business district, Gigiri, home to the United Nations headquarters, multiple embassies, and is on the edge of the Karura Forest. The forest’s attractions include a 50km nature trail for walking, running, and biking, a 12m-high waterfall, a series of caves, archaeological sites, and various animal species.
The property was formerly a historic home that was previously turned into a guest house, then transformed into a modern boutique hotel.
With 102 guest rooms and suites, Kwetu Nairobi comprises five interconnected buildings, each with a Swahili name that reflects the hotel’s story.
Many of the rooms and suites have balconies and terraces with views of the forested landscape. The lobby bar and reception have high ceilings and a fireplace.
The 334sqm meeting and event spaces have large terraces, a state-of-the-art gym, spa, and pool. Major shopping malls are close to the hotel, such as Sarit, The Village Market, and Two Rivers Centre.
