Norfolk Hotel : |
|
 Older
than the London Ritz, younger than The Savoy, no other hotel in
Kenya has as rich a history as the Norfolk, one of the world's
most romantic hotels. When it was first opened on Christmas Day,
1904, it was to spearhead traditions of hospitality in East
Africa which are still unmatched today. It is said that Nairobi
as a capital city grew up around the Norfolk. From the new and
old worlds the first guests came, many of noble birth. The guest
list made its name as a legend then and still does so today. The
Norfolk Hotel is a thirty minute drive from Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport and a short distance from Nairobi's
shopping and business district.
Bedrooms:
The Norfolk comprises 107 twin, 60
doubled bedded rooms and 81 standard rooms, 22 Suites, 55
Deluxe, and 9 Executive and deluxe suites. All bedrooms have a
