Argyle Grand Hotel is possibly one of the most modern hotels in Nairobi. Room sensors ensure comfortable lighting matched to the natural light coming in through the windows, and the motorised curtains open and close at the touch of a button.

The rooms are stylishly decorated with light and subdued colours – often with a little touch of something more exotic such as a cheerful painting. The rooms have free Wi-Fi, tea/coffee-making facilities, ironing board, flatscreen TV and ample space for both luggage and relaxation.

The hotel has almost been designed as a small complex, in the middle of which is a garden with a pool at one end. Here, you will find sun loungers, and next to them a charming bar. The hotel also has three restaurants, a lounge area and a gym – and best of all, it’s only a good 15-minute drive to the airport, which makes it the perfect place to spend the night on the journey out or home.
