Fodor's Expert Review Hilton Nairobi

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Centrally located, this 17-floor circular building has become a city landmark. There's nothing much to distinguish it from other Hilton hotels anywhere in the world, apart from some African-theme decor, but it's comfortably predictable and has a good range of facilities. There are six categories of rooms to choose from, pay more the higher you go, and each has top-class amenities from TV and Wi-Fi to bathrobes and slippers. You wouldn't spend your holiday here but it's perfectly adequate for a city stay before or after your safari and it's in walking distance to shops and central attractions.
