From the moment you pass through the century-old revolving doors, you leave the heat and bustle of modern Nairobi for a world of cool Victorian elegance. Since it opened its doors in 1902, The Stanley Hotel has played host to royal safaris and an array of famous guests. Today, after a total refurbishment, The Stanley has re-adopted its original name and much of its original character. The spacious foyer with its marble floors, leather furniture, antique brass and wrought iron fittings, recalls a graceful era of grand living.

Guarding the entrance is The Stanley's famous acacia xanthophildea whose message board, wrapped around its trunk, and has formed the centerpiece of the legendary Thorn Tree Café since 1959. Centrally positioned in Nairobi's shopping and business district, The Stanley enjoys easy access to the Kenyatta International Conference Center, all the financial institutions and international organizations.
