Sarova Panafric Hotel Photos & Info

Overview

Before or after a Kenya safari, or simply on its own as a getaway, the Sarova Panafric Hotel delivers world-class luxury in the heart of Nairobi. Set conveniently close to the Central Business District and the airport, the four-star hotel, surrounded by manicured gardens, feels tucked away enough for a Zen feel throughout one’s stay. From here, it’s easy to visit Nairobi’s extensive sites and attractions, including the Nairobi National Museum, The David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, the Karen Blixen Museum, and the bordering Nairobi National Park – in fact, it’s the only city in the world to have a wildlife reserve in its midst. Weekly Maasai craft markets, as well as art, music, food, and wine festivals ensure an exciting, immersive Nairobi stay.

Rooms

Each of the Sarova Panafric’s 96 rooms and suites showcases stylish afro-chic furnishings and world-class amenities. Hallways are lined with art depictions of modern Nairobi. In addition to its rooms and suites, the hotel offers 42 fully furnished, serviced apartments and 4 rooms for differently abled persons.

Essential amenities include high-speed WiFi, 24-hour room service, concierge services, laundry services, smart TV, and a smart safety box, among others. The one-of-a-kind Wangari Maathai Wing consists of six spacious rooms, with a feminine touch and dedicated to the solo lady traveler. Wangari Maathai was a matriarch, heroine, and visionary who became the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Price for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy, and peace. Her eponymous rooms feature a full-size portrait of a smiling Wangari, murals inscribed with her most famous quotes, delicate complimentary petit fours awaiting each guest, a yoga mat, fluffy bathrobes, and more.

The Executive Signature Suites pay homage to great African civilizations by featuring a series of tribes admired in history for their evolution and artistic innovation. Spacious studio suites come with a large terrace that offers amazing views of the lush gardens below. Other room categories include Executive Premier, Executive, Deluxe, and Panafric Rooms.
