Eden Nairobi

Eden Nairobi is a smart and stylish boutique hotel. The hotel borders the Giraffe Sanctuary forest on the outskirts of Nairobi and sits on a four-acre private property within  large wooded grounds where monkeys, warthogs and parrots roam freely – One of the highlights here is the wonderful relaxation and restaurant area built at the back of the house with a large dam and peacocks strutting peacefully by.  The quiet location in the suburbs of Nairobi offers guests an immediate connection to a deeply authentic expression of the famous artists and designers Tonio and Anna Trezbinksi family’s Kenyan home, their history and adventures. The quirky and beautifully designed house and studios are adorned with bright and unusual artworks.

The Nairobi National Park, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Karen Blixen Museum, and the Giraffe Centre are all within a short driving distance and the hotel is within easy reach of Nairobi’s most interesting restaurants, eclectic shopping experiences and artist studios.

Eden is made up of the main house and Tonio’s studio. Both buildings are available for exclusive hire. The main house offers an open plan drawing and dining room area, a large veranda, and 3 ensuite bedrooms. Tonio’s studio: Tonio’s former art studio offers a separate open plan drawing and dining room area, 2 ensuite bedrooms, and 3 separate studio lofts. Every room at Eden is designed and decorated with stunning treetop views of the grounds.

The 8 bedroom former family home has been transformed into a living museum and private gallery space that is filled with the family’s own artworks and creations, as well as Tonio and Anna Trezbinksi’s personal library and artefacts that have been collected over a lifetime from across the continent.
