Fairmont The Norfolk  

In the heart of Nairobi, set among tranquil tropical gardens and a century-old colonial façade. Minutes from the city center with easy access to Nairobi National Park, the elephant orphanage, giraffe centre and the national museum, plus business hubs like Westlands, Gigiri and Upperhill.
