Karen Country Lodge and Conference Centre  

In the leafy Karen suburb of Nairobi, Karen Country Lodge & Conference Centre is a boutique retreat about 13 km from the city centre. It sits close to The Hub Karen, Nairobi Business Park, The Karen Hospital and the Karen Blixen Museum. Gardened grounds give a calm base for exploring Nairobi.

This once-colonial bungalow has been dressed in modern, chic decor and split into boutique cottages. There are just seven guestrooms, each with kitchenettes (fridges and microwaves) and private patios that look onto the gardens. Rooms come with TVs and private bathrooms featuring separate bathtubs and showers, including deep soaking tubs and rainfall showerheads.

Sip cocktails in lush gardens or unwind in the bar and lounge. On-site features include a restaurant, a library and well-kept garden views. Complimentary wireless internet and free self-parking are available. Practical services include laundry, dry cleaning, ironing, car rental and a safe-deposit box.

The property doubles as a conference centre and can host meetings and small events. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Free on-site parking and multilingual staff support business stays.

A lodge restaurant serves lunch and dinner, and the bar/lounge is perfect for an evening drink. A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 6:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Limited room service is available for quieter nights in.
