Fairview Hotel
"The Fairview is that rare bird in Africa - a comfortable
hotel that hasn't decked itself out in feathers of upmarket gloss
and tasteless luxury. The hotel's leafy acres and scattered buildings
are laid out on Nairobi Hill, a world away from the overheated
bustle . . . "Elle Magazine.
Rooms
The Fairview was acquired by the Szlapak family in 1946. At that
time, the hotel had only 40 rooms. Since then, the hotel has grown
to just over 100 rooms. As a result, the hotel offers a wide range
of room alternatives.
Conferencing
Kijiji - (Swahili for "The Village")
This room is arguably one of the best conferencing alternatives
in Nairobi. The room is equipped with all the latest conferencing
necessities including a laptop/video projecter, flip charts, speakers,
air conditioner etc. We have also invested in special equipment
to hang flip chart papers on the walls as well as various white
boards that hang on the wall.
The room can accommodate up to 60 people. Alternatively, the
room can be divided into two rooms and can accommodate 20 people
in Kijiji A and 40 people in Kijiji B.
The conference room has its own cloakrooms which were also completed
recently.
The most attractive element of Kijiji is not inside the conference
room but outside - the conferencing facility overlooks its own
private garden (See photo on right).
During the coffee break, all conferencing participants enjoy
fresh air on the verandah overlooking the garden!!
Facilities
Business Centre
The Fairview Business Centre offers the following facilities:
First Class Lounge
Guests in our First Class rooms enjoy complimentary access to
the lounge. The lounge is located above the breakfast area and
is open between 6:30 a.m and 11:00 p.m. In the Lounge one can
enjoy complimentary access to 2 PCs, a range of papers and magazines,
coffee and tea all day long and various other benefits!
Internet access in the rooms
We have 2 options for guests requiring internet access in the
rooms. The first is wireless access (Wi-Fi). 90% of our rooms
enjoy Wi-Fi access so please check with Reception to determine
whether wi-fi is available in your room. If you don't have a Wi-Fi
card, we will happily sell and install one for you. The second
option is a wired ethernet connection - unfortunately, only 6
rooms have this option so please request it on check-in and we
will do our best to oblige.
Another fairly recent addition to The Fairview is the beautiful
swimming pool. Situated near the gym, the pool is for residents
only and is open from 7.00 am to 6.30pm daily.
Gym
The Bridge to Fitness has a wonderful view of the pool area and
contains the latest equipment by LifeFitness: 2 treadmills, a
recumbent exercise bike, a cross trainer, a rowing machine, basic
weights, leg press calf extention, a Multi-Gym and a few other
of the basics. The gym is only open to hotel and Apartment residents.
Dining
As a family-run hotel, one of our goals is to ensure that food
is not standard hotel food but rather has the 'home cooked' touch
- tasty, comforting and ample. We offer a great range of dining
alternatives.
The Pwani Pool Restaurant, adjoining the swimming pool,
offers a full range of international cuisine in a casual environment.
Its bar is a favorite with residents in the evening.
The Mukutan Garden Café is without a doubt the
best place in Upper Hill (perhaps all of Nairobi) for top-notch
coffees and light/quick meals such as gourmet sandwiches, pizzas
and Quesadillas.
Mitende Atrium
Our brand, the Country Hotel in Town, is omnipresent at breakfast
with the addition of our atrium. Having breakfast on a rainy morning
takes a whole new dimension!
Pango Brasserie
The classiest dining experience Nairobi has to offer. Its star
attraction is an underground wine-bar where drinks are served
before dinner.
Sushi Bar
Sushi to die for!
