Head up to the roof at Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi Airport, and Kenya opens out in two directions. On one side lies Nairobi National Park, on the other, the runway at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. It is a fitting first- or last-view of the country and a good reason to linger over a drink.
Tazama, the rooftop fusion African bar and grill, serves international roasts and grills alongside craft cocktails and Best Brews beers. Downstairs, Marketplace is the all-day restaurant, with a breakfast buffet, local and international dishes, an outdoor terrace and a 24-hour menu for late arrivals.
After a long-haul flight, the heated rooftop pool is a welcome way to stretch out. There is also a well-equipped fitness centre, and the Olakira Luxe Spa offers massages and treatments in a peaceful setting. Transfers to and from JKIA are complimentary, so the hotel works well before or after a safari.
ACCOMMODATION
The contemporary en suite rooms are elegantly furnished, with signature Four Points beds, rain showers and soundproofed windows for quiet, restful nights. Each room has a large writing desk, an ergonomic chair and a 42-inch LED TV with Bluetooth and screen sharing. Families can request interleading rooms when booking. Suites add access to the hotel’s Business Lounge, a useful extra if you have work to catch up on between flights.
Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi Airport stands on Tower Avenue within the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport precinct, just 4.1 km from the terminal. Complimentary transfers to and from JKIA are available and should be reserved in advance. Wilson Airport, the departure point for many light-aircraft safari flights, is about 16.8 km away. From the rooftop, the view stretches out over Nairobi National Park, making this a relaxed base for a night at the start or end of a Kenyan adventure.
