Owned and managed
by three generations of the Szlapak family since 1946 (and since
1993, joined by Eliana Szlapak's husband, Mark Abbema), the
Fairview Hotel in Nairobi stands out as a charming and
successful blend of the past and the present.
Five acres of beautiful landscaped gardens unmatched by any
other Nairobi city hotel, combine with comfortable rooms that
offer every modern facility, including personal electronic
safes, electronic door locks, direct dial phones and internet
access.
An individual hotel understands that its guests are individuals
too, with distinct requirements. That's why the Fairview offers
a choice of room types economy, business or first class and even
apartments for those staying a while.

Culinary and Dining Experience At The Fairview Hotel
• As a family-run hotel, one of Fairview Hotel's goals is
to ensure that food is not standard hotel food but rather has
the 'home cooked' touch - tasty, comforting and ample. Fairview
offers a great range of dining alternatives.
• Fairview Pwani Pool Restaurant, adjoining the Swimming
Pool, offers a full range of international cuisine in a casual
environment. Its bar is a favorite with residents in the
evening.
• The Mukutan Garden Café is without a doubt the best
place in Upper Hill (perhaps all of Nairobi) for top-notch
coffees and light/quick meals such as gourmet sandwiches, pizzas
and Quesadillas.
Facilities At The Fairview Hotel
• Business Center: Recently, Fairview constructed a
Business Centre that offers the following facilities: email,
Internet browsing, computer renting, typing, faxing,
photocopying, shredding and scanning.
• Internet Access In The Rooms: Fairview Hotels has 2
options for guests requiring internet access in the rooms. The
first is wireless access (Wi-Fi). Fairview is presently rolling
out a Wi-Fi network so please check with Reception to determine
whether wi-fi is available in your room. If you don't have a
Wi-Fi card, Fairview will happily sell and install for you. The
second option is a wired Ethernet connection - unfortunately,
only 6 rooms have this option so please request it during your
reservation with Sardius Tours and we will be happy to
check availability.
• Swimming Pool: Another recent addition to The Fairview
is the new hotel swimming pool. Situated behind the business
center the pool is currently for residents only and is open from
7.00 am to 6.30pm every day. Maintained at a constant
temperature of 28 degrees the new swimming pool is cleverly
designed to resemble the famous Fairview window - the top
semi-circular portion being for kiddies only.
• Fitness Gym: The Bridge to Fitness, recently opened,
has a wonderful view of the pool area and contains 2 treadmills,
a stepper, rowing machine, basic weights, leg press, an upper
body all in one system and a few other of the basics. All

the gym is only open to hotel and Apartment residents.
