Executive Residency by Best Western Nairobi
A Riverside Drive base with kitchens in every room
About this hotel
Executive Residency by Best Western sets its pool and fitness centre inside a Riverside Drive property built around longer, self-sufficient stays, with every unit adding a balcony, seating and dining area of its own. The in-room kitchen comes with a microwave, toaster, fridge, coffee machine and kettle, giving business travellers a genuine alternative to eating out every single night. Private bathrooms with a bath or shower and free toiletries round out the suite, and bed linen is provided as standard throughout. An on-site restaurant and bar cover the option to eat in without cooking, and Kenyatta International Conference Centre sits 4 kilometres away with the Nairobi Arboretum just 1.2 kilometres out from the property.

- Riverside Drive location
Our take
This suits business travellers on an extended Nairobi assignment who want a proper kitchen alongside pool access, rather than a standard hotel room with nowhere to cook a meal. The Riverside Drive location keeps it a reasonable distance from both KICC and the Nairobi Arboretum without sitting directly in either district.
- ✓Use the in-room kitchen for at least a few meals during an extended stay to make the most of the full setup.
- ✓Walk to the Nairobi Arboretum in the evening, it's just 1.2 kilometres from the property.
- ✓Book a balcony unit specifically if outdoor space matters during a longer assignment.

Why guests love itA consultant on a multi-week Nairobi assignment settles into a genuine routine, cooking breakfast from the in-room kitchen most mornings and using the pool and fitness centre after work before an evening walk to the nearby Arboretum. The on-site restaurant becomes an occasional treat rather than a nightly necessity, which suits the longer stay better than a standard hotel room would have.
