The discerning guest, it seems, demands a suite rather than a room, preferably with its own reception area, workspace, cocktail terrace, private sundeck and opulent bathroom, which explains why the Nairobi Serena Hotel has restructured its room selection to offer a stunning new choice of executive suites. It is a spectacular line-up. On the ground floor are three opulently efficient Garden Suites, each with their own luxurious workspace and reception area and picture windows leading to a private garden with dining pergola, cocktail terrace and gilded gate leading through into the hotel gardens. On the first floor, five gorgeous new Superior Rooms have been luxuriantly appointed, each with its own technology-efficient workspace, lounge and lavish balcony. And above them the cleverly expanded new accommodation wing boasts 6 generously extended Executive Suites with panoramic balconies, 5 opulently enlarged Business Suites and 4 elegant Standard Rooms with spacious balconies and stunning views.

As befits one of Africa’s finest hotels, the Nairobi Serena’s newly refurbished Stateroom Suite is fit for a king. Gloriously presented in regal crimson and gleaming gold colours, and opulently appointed in the Zanzibari style, the breathtaking new suite boasts a private dining room (with integrated kitchen), sitting room (with plasma-screen TV and globally connected workstation),bar, magnificent state bedroom and bathroom, guest washroom and guest reception room.
