Dusit Princess Hotel Residences Nairobi
Two pools, rooftop and indoor, for any weather
About this hotel
Dusit Princess pairs a rooftop swimming pool with an indoor pool, giving families the flexibility to swim regardless of what Nairobi's weather is doing on any given afternoon of the stay. Family rooms come with private bathrooms, walk-in showers, work desks and minibars, plus free toiletries, bathrobes and slippers for extra comfort throughout. The family-friendly restaurant serves African, Chinese, British and other cuisines, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free breakfast options built into the daily rotation rather than treated as an afterthought. A fitness centre, terrace and coffee shop round out the amenities, and free on-site private parking makes day trips to the nearby Giraffe Centre and Karura Forest straightforward without arranging separate transport.

Our take
This is one of the better family picks in Nairobi thanks to the two-pool setup, useful when a cool or overcast morning would otherwise cancel swim time entirely. Couples or business travellers without children may find the family focus less relevant, though the strong 9.4 couples rating suggests it works well beyond just the family market too.
- ✓Check indoor and rooftop pool hours separately, they can run on different schedules here.
- ✓Pair a morning at Giraffe Centre with an afternoon pool session using the free on-site parking.
- ✓Ask about the breakfast rotation across African, Chinese and British cuisines if variety matters to your stay.

Why guests love itA family arriving on an overcast Nairobi morning heads straight for the indoor pool rather than waiting on the weather, switching to the rooftop pool once the afternoon sun breaks through. The short drive to Giraffe Centre the next day, made easy by the free on-site parking, rounds out a stay that never once had to work around the sky's mood.
