Glee Nairobi
A pool bar and kids' club under one roof
About this hotel
Glee Nairobi combines a year-round outdoor pool with a pool bar, jacuzzi and steam room, spa facilities and a sun terrace, an unusually complete wellness setup for a property that also runs a kids' club on-site. Private check-in and check-out, a lounge, beauty services and wellness packages cover the adult side of the stay, while family rooms and the kids' club mean parents can book a spa afternoon without arranging separate childcare elsewhere. The family-friendly restaurant mixes traditional and modern dining alongside the pool bar itself, and breakfast covers local specialities, warm dishes and fresh pastries daily. Nairobi National Museum sits around 10 kilometres away, with Karura Forest just 3 kilometres out from the property.

- Spa facilities
Our take
This is a rare find in Nairobi for parents who want genuine wellness time, jacuzzi and spa included, without giving up the pool bar scene entirely. The 8.6 couples rating, solid but not the highest on this list, suggests it works best as a family pick first and a couples retreat second.
- ✓Book the kids' club ahead for busy periods, it's a genuine draw and can fill up faster than expected.
- ✓Use the jacuzzi and steam room while the kids are at the club for real, uninterrupted wellness time.
- ✓Visit Karura Forest on the same day, at just 3 kilometres it's an easy add-on to a pool-focused stay.
Why we love it
- Kids' club alongside a genuine jacuzzi and steam room
- Pool bar built into the family-friendly restaurant
- Spa facilities and wellness packages for parents
- Three kilometres from Karura Forest
Why guests love itParents drop the kids at the club and head straight for the jacuzzi and steam room, a rare stretch of genuinely uninterrupted wellness time on a family trip. The pool bar that evening, with the kids fed and settled from the family-friendly restaurant, turns into an actual adult evening rather than the usual compromise between everyone's competing plans for the night.
