Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands
A rooftop pool with breakfast in seven cuisines
About this hotel
Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands runs its rooftop swimming pool alongside a fitness centre, sun terrace and restaurant, with air-conditioned, private-bathroom rooms and free WiFi throughout the property. The family-friendly restaurant serves African, Indian, Italian, local, Asian and international cuisines, and breakfast alone spans continental, American, buffet, vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free and Asian options, unusually wide for a business hotel of this scale and price point. Brunch, lunch, dinner, high tea and cocktails round out a dining schedule that goes well beyond the standard hotel offering most guests expect. Kumbu Kumbu Art Gallery sits under a kilometre away, with Nairobi National Museum and the Nairobi Botanic Garden both roughly 2.4 kilometres out, seven kilometres from Wilson Airport overall.

- Near Nairobi Botanic Garden
Our take
This suits business travellers in Westlands who want a rooftop pool and genuinely varied dining without a long commute to nearby galleries and gardens. The scale and cuisine breadth make it less intimate than a boutique property, so guests after a quieter, smaller stay might prefer Trademark Suites or Palacina instead.
- ✓Try the high tea or cocktail service if your schedule allows, both go beyond the standard rooftop pool offering.
- ✓Walk to Kumbu Kumbu Art Gallery in under a kilometre before or after a pool session.
- ✓Check the halal, vegan or gluten-free breakfast rotation in advance if dietary needs matter to your stay.
Why we love it
- Rooftop pool with a genuinely wide breakfast menu
- Under a kilometre from Kumbu Kumbu Art Gallery
- Brunch through cocktails on the dining schedule
- Close to Nairobi National Museum and Botanic Garden
Why guests love itA business traveller with a free morning walks the short distance to Kumbu Kumbu Art Gallery before returning for a late breakfast that somehow covers halal, vegan and Asian options without feeling like a compromise. The rooftop pool that afternoon, with the Nairobi Botanic Garden a short taxi ride away for later, rounds out a stay that manages more variety than its Westlands business-hotel setting might suggest.
