Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club Kenya

Africa’s Best Kept Secret

Located on the northern outskirts of the city, the Windsor is the apex of Kenya’s tourist facilities, complete with a golf course and other sporting facilities, apart from the top quality accommodation and first class international cuisine.

 

Located just a 15-minute drive from the city centre of Nairobi, and a 45-minute drive from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), the Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club is a cluster of impressive Victorian style buildings with 130 deluxe rooms comprising twins, doubles, studio suites and cottages all overlooking a spectacular 18- hole championship golf course and tastefully decorated with five-star amenities in each room.

 

The hotel has a modern 16-hour business centre, complete with an array of computers and communications facilities that ensure that the visitor is in touch with the rest of the world at any given time. There is also a wellness centre, with a well-equipped gym.

 

 

Describing itself as “Africa’s Best Kept Secret”, the hotel and club facility in Nairobi appropriately derives its famous name from one of the most renowned residences of the British monarchy, Windsor Castle. When the hotel first opened its doors in the early 1990s, it was a hugely important and welcome addition to Nairobi’s top class tourist facilities. The Windsor Golf & Country Club has since become the preferred meeting place for top political leaders and captains of business and industry in Kenya and the East African region.

 

Whether visiting or staying in Nairobi for business, pleasure or both, the Windsor offers a breathtakingly beautiful oasis of comfort and tranquillity – the perfect place for a getaway!
