OVERVIEW
Nairobi has a storied history and The Norfolk Hotel has often been at the centre of it since its founding in 1904. Then, it was a small and cosy collection of rooms; today it is a sleek international hotel with large suites, a heated swimming pool, a full-on fitness centre, Wi-Fi and a spa that would astonish the guests of the early 1900s.
Unchanged are the beautiful lush gardens, gracious hospitality and high-wattage Kenyan charm – all near the meandering Nairobi River. Fairmont The Norfolk is the perfect place to start or end your Kenya safari, with a convenient travel desk and currency exchange. The Lord Delamere Terrace and other restaurants, bars and lounge serve up tasty meals and all-important G&Ts.
