Hillpark Hotel is a 3-star establishment located in the Upper Hill neighbourhood of Nairobi. This urban address caters to travellers who wish to stay close to Kenya's business centre while enjoying comprehensive services: restaurant, bar, spa, pool and fitness centre.

Why stay here

Hillpark Hotel targets business and leisure guests seeking functional comfort in Nairobi. The hotel combines the expected services of a 3-star urban property (24-hour reception, airport shuttle for an additional fee, wifi, safe deposit box) with a well-developed wellness component for its category: spa, fitness centre and pool. Facilities for guests with reduced mobility are also worth noting.

A useful note when booking: Hillpark Hotel in Upper Hill should not be confused with Hillpark Hotel Tiwi Beach, located near Mombasa on the coast. Double-check the exact address before confirming your stay.

Atmosphere

The atmosphere is that of a human-scale African business hotel without pretension. You'll find business travellers, families in transit before a safari and couples who appreciate the relative calm of Upper Hill compared to the bustle of the city centre. The common areas (lobby, bar lounge, terrace around the pool) serve as informal workspaces as much as evening relaxation spots.

The rooms

All rooms are equipped with:

• a mini-bar
• cable television
• wifi connection
• safe deposit box
• private bathroom (shower, sometimes bathtub)

Certain room categories feature facilities adapted for guests with reduced mobility. The hotel provides basic toiletries, bathrobes and towels included.

Dining and services

Dining is organised around two spaces. The Garden restaurant offers an à la carte menu; breakfast can be served in your room. The bar lounge complements the offering with salads, grilled dishes and a selection of beverages.

On the wellness side, the spa provides steam baths, body massages (back, head, hands) and a fairly extensive beauty section: facials, manicure, pedicure, waxing, exfoliation. The fitness centre provides fitness equipment, yoga classes and the option to hire a personal trainer. The pool, open to residents, is lined with loungers and a bar.

Reception operates 24/7 and the hotel offers airport shuttle service for an additional fee on top of the room rate.

Location: Upper Hill, Nairobi

Upper Hill is one of Nairobi's main business districts. It is home to the headquarters of several banks, regional offices of international organisations and office towers. For a traveller, the advantage is twofold: you stay close to the city centre without suffering its most congested traffic, and you have several dining and service options within a short radius.

The hotel is connected to both of the capital's airports, Jomo Kenyatta International (long-haul flights) and Wilson (domestic flights and air-taxi safaris). Travel times depend heavily on traffic, particularly heavy during peak hours in Nairobi: allow extra time.

Nearby

From Upper Hill, several classic stages of a Kenya trip are accessible. Nairobi typically serves as the departure point for parks in the south and west of the country.

• Nairobi: museums, Nairobi National Park, Giraffe Centre
• 67 Airport Hotel: alternative near Jomo Kenyatta airport
• Chui Lodge: stopover near Lake Naivasha
• Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge: for the next stage of the circuit in the Rift Valley
