At the edge of the country's largest preserved forest, with panoramic views of the lush greenery and the city skyline, the Gem Forest Hotel Nairobi is a striking boutique destination conveniently located in proximity to the UN and the capital’s diplomatic quarter. Feminine, ethereal and filled with wonder, the hotel’s contemporary design by the celebrated Design House – The Sundukovy Sisters draws inspiration from precious gemstones, the Karura Forest, and the spirit of Nairobi, the "city of water". Stepping into the atrium transports you into an otherworldly space, where diaphanous, iridescent glass reflects rainbows of color, and the sound of cascading water mingles with the gentle forest breeze. Resembling exquisite jewelry boxes filled with custom pieces, the 105 rooms and suites cocoon you in comfort and sophistication and boast sweeping views of the forest and skyline. The eclectic dining and entertainment offerings add to Nairobi's rich dining culture. Indulge in modern Indian cuisine and spicy mixology at Kahani, gathered around a striking 360° crystal bar, or savour European Riviera-inspired dishes in a stylish brasserie setting at Enchanté. For a wellness-infused experience, head to La Mer, where refreshing cocktails and fun-sized bites await by the poolside. And atop it all, Troy, a rooftop bar and lounge, elevates Mediterranean bites with theatrical mixology and lively DJ sets, drawing the city’s influential crowd to bask in sweeping views and panoramic sunsets.
