Crowne Plaza Nairobi Hotel

Formerly the Lazizi Premiere, the Crowne Plaza Nairobi Hotel is the only official hotel located at the Jomo International Airport.

With 144 rooms, the hotel is large and spacious and offers a room for every type of guest. Room grades start at Superior, moving onto Deluxe and Premium Rooms with Balcony. Decorated with muted colours, rooms are relaxing, some with excellent views of the sun setting the evenings. Breakfast is included and the Kitchen 9 restaurant offers evening dining options as well as the Aroma coffee shop for an afternoon break, and the Velocity Bar for evening cocktails.

Other facilities include an onsite Spa, gym and swimming pool available for guests to relax and unwind before or after a long flight.

When to go

Although Nairobi is situated in the middle of East Africa, its high altitude—about a mile above sea level—means that the city's climate is mild year-round. Summer months in Nairobi are December through March and winter months are June through to September. The wettest months are from March through June.
