Best Hotels with Activities in Nairobi

Nairobi is one of the few capitals where a family can spend the morning at the Nairobi National Museum and the afternoon watching giraffes at the Langata Giraffe Sanctuary. Hotels cluster in three areas that matter to parents: Westlands, with Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands and Hyatt House Nairobi Westlands close to Kumbu Kumbu Art Gallery; the greener corridor around Karura Forest and the Nairobi Arboretum, where Glee Nairobi and Radisson Blu Hotel and Residence Nairobi Arboretum sit; and the quieter Karen side near the Karen Blixen Museum, home to Hemingways Nairobi. Most family properties keep outdoor pools open year round, and Wilson Airport is close enough that a domestic safari leg does not eat a whole day.
