The Sarova Stanley is Nairobi’s oldest hotel, a grand colonial-era landmark in the heart of the city that has welcomed travellers since 1902. Famous for its historic Thorn Tree Cafe, once a message board for adventurers, it offers elegant rooms, a rooftop pool and classic service steeped in history. Combining old-world charm with a central location near the business district and attractions, it remains one of the most storied and characterful places to stay in the Kenyan capital.
