Kwetu Nairobi, Curio Collection By Hilton
A garden pool a short walk from Karura Forest
About this hotel
Kwetu Nairobi's year-round outdoor pool sits inside a garden and terrace setting, with a fitness centre and restaurant rounding out a five-star stay under Hilton's Curio Collection banner. The restaurant runs Mediterranean, Asian and international cuisines with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and breakfast includes local specialities, warm dishes, fresh pastries, pancakes, cheese and fruits. Private check-in and check-out, a 24-hour front desk and concierge service cover the arrival experience, while a lift, coffee shop and outdoor seating area add convenience for longer stays here. Karura Forest sits just 1.5 kilometres away, with Nairobi National Museum around 5 kilometres out and Kenyatta International Conference Centre 8 kilometres from the property.

- Karura Forest nearby
Our take
This suits guests who want a genuinely well-reviewed garden pool stay close to Karura Forest, backed by strong ratings for staff, cleanliness and location specifically. The Curio Collection branding brings Hilton-level consistency without the scale of a large conference hotel, which some travellers will clearly prefer over a bigger property.
- ✓Walk to Karura Forest early morning before the pool warms up for the day.
- ✓Try the Mediterranean menu at the restaurant rather than the more standard international option at least once.
- ✓Book ahead given the strong guest ratings, this property tends to fill up faster than comparable Westlands options.
Why we love it

Why guests love itA guest starts the day with an early walk into Karura Forest before the Nairobi heat builds, back at the pool by mid-morning with breakfast pastries still on hand from the earlier buffet. The Mediterranean dinner menu that evening, a change from the usual international hotel fare, matches the consistently strong reviews for both the food and the staff who serve it.
