Second Curio House in Africa

The choice of Nairobi as the location for the brand's first hotel in East Africa is no coincidence. After all, the Kenyan capital is an important tourist destination with numerous sights and attractions. As a city of millions of inhabitants it also serves as an important hub for other destinations on the African continent - and beyond. Hilton itself is certainly not new to the region. In total, there're over 100 hotels of various Hilton brands. However, the Kwetu Nairobi is the second Curio Collection member in Africa after the Legends Hotel Lagos.

Even the name, Kwetu, reveals what this new hotel in Nairobi is all about. The term is Swahili and means "our home". This is exactly how guests should feel here. They should experience authentic hospitality in a modern boutique hotel. "This remarkable hotel offers the perfect fusion of nature, city and cultural heritage from the 1800s. It reflects the brand's unique, customized character by blending Kenya's cultural past with contemporary comforts and amenities," said Jenna Hackett, Global Brand Head, Curio Collection by Hilton.

Attention to detail

A total of 102 rooms and suites are available. You can find them across five different buildings. They are connected to each other and have Swahili names. Together, they tell the story of the country and provide insights into the culture and traditions of Kenya. Travelers can look forward to interiors that combine historical details with refined contemporary style. Balconies and terraces with views of the beautiful landscape complement the living spaces. Details such as mouth-blown gas lamps and custom-made furniture complete the ambience.

To ensure that guests have everything they need from a culinary perspective, six gastro outlets are in almost constant operation. In the 1893 Brew Bar, for example, coffee fans can enjoy delicacies prepared by experienced baristas. The Meko, on the other hand, serves Mediterranean-inspired dishes from the Mediterranean region. Cool Waters will porvide you with drinks by the pool, while Upepo is the ideal rooftop bar for atmospheric evenings with Southeast Asian cuisine. Cocktails are on the menu at Zabe and The Nomad serves seasonal and regional dishes.

Feel good near the forest

Guests checking in for business purposes can make use of the modern conference and event rooms. They can also work out in the highly modern fitness room and then relax in the spa with professional treatments. Speaking of treatments: if you're looking for a little retail therapy, there are large shopping centers in the immediate vicinity.

The Karura Forest is just ten minutes walking distance. It's perfect for nature lovers and it offers many attractions. If you enjoy a good exercise, you can hike to a waterfall, discover a series of caves, archaeological sites and various animal species. There's also help from the professionals when it comes to spotting animals. The hotel's own rangers introduce guests to the Amboseli, Tsavo, Maasai Mara and Mount Kenya National Parks. Herds of elephants and wildebeest as well as the breathtaking backdrop of Kilimanjaro promise a goosebump feeling.
