Pax Manor Muthaiga
A hot tub and fireplace for Muthaiga's cool evenings
About this hotel
Pax Manor Muthaiga sets its jacuzzi beside an outdoor fireplace, with live music on some evenings, a combination built for lingering rather than a quick swim before dinner. The garden and terrace surround a restaurant and bar running an unusually wide cuisine list, African, Greek, Indian, Italian, Asian and international, alongside continental, American, full English, vegetarian, halal and gluten-free breakfast options each morning. Rooms carry air conditioning, bathrobes and private bathrooms with free toiletries, and private check-in and check-out smooth the arrival for guests landing after a long flight. Eleven kilometres from Wilson Airport and 2.2 kilometres from Muthaiga Golf Course, it sits in a genuinely quiet residential pocket of Nairobi, well away from the CBD's faster business-hotel pace.

- Muthaiga Golf Course nearby
Our take
This is one of the strongest picks in Nairobi for a couples-oriented stay, backed by a perfect guest rating for two-person trips and a setup built around evening relaxation rather than daytime activity. Business travellers wanting proximity to KICC or a conference-ready property should look toward Upper Hill instead, since Muthaiga trades convenience for quiet.
- ✓Book the jacuzzi and fireplace combination for an evening rather than daytime, it's built for after-dark use.
- ✓Ask about live music evenings when booking if that adds to your stay.
- ✓Try the Greek or Indian dining options for a change from the standard hotel menu.
Why we love it
- Hot tub set beside an outdoor fireplace with live music
- Unusually wide cuisine list across five regions
- Quiet Muthaiga setting away from the business district
- Perfect guest rating for couples on two-person trips
Why guests love itA couple settling in for a quiet weekend finds the hot tub and fireplace combination doing most of the work, especially once the evening chill sets in and the live music starts somewhere nearby. Dinner from the wide-ranging menu, Greek one night and Indian the next, keeps the stay from feeling repetitive, and the short distance to Muthaiga Golf Course adds an easy morning activity before returning to the jacuzzi.
