#1 of 9 hotels in Upper Hill by Axel's take. Upper Hill is #4 of 8 places to stay in Nairobi. The best hotels in Upper Hill, ranked · Where to stay in Nairobi

Axel's take: 9.0/10

Fairview is a strong pick for garden calm, character and attentive service. an upscale heritage garden hotel in Nairobi’s Upper Hill, scored for what it is.

Fairview is an upscale heritage hotel in Upper Hill, now part of IHG’s Vignette Collection rather than the InterContinental brand. It’s a strong pick for travelers who want character and breathing room instead of a glass-tower stay. IHG confirmed renovated rooms at its December 2025 relaunch; recent Tripadvisor and Expedia guests praise comfortable rooms, thorough housekeeping, helpful staff and breakfast. The gardens, outdoor pool and several dining options make staying on site appealing.

The trade-off is convenience outside the grounds: choose somewhere else if walking to nightlife is your priority. Expedia lists no elevators, so travelers needing step-free access should confirm their exact room and route before booking. Breakfast is not included in every rate, and airport transfers cost extra. We’d choose it for a restful safari stopover or an Upper Hill business stay.

  • Best for: travelers resting before or after safari; Upper Hill business visitors; couples who prefer gardens to nightlife

  • Watch out for: no elevators listed; confirm step-free access; less convenient for walk-out nightlife; breakfast and airport transfers may cost extra

  • Location: Upper Hill setting favors a quieter stay over easy access to nightlife.

  • Rooms: Renovated heritage rooms; recent guests praise comfort and modern interiors.

  • Cleanliness: Strong housekeeping feedback across Tripadvisor, Booking.com and Expedia.

  • Service: Friendly, helpful staff are a consistent strength in recent reviews.

  • Amenities: Landscaped gardens, outdoor pool, gym, several restaurants and free parking.

  • Fees and surprises: Check breakfast inclusion; airport transfers are charged, and Expedia lists no elevators.
