Eden can be found on the border of the Giraffe Sanctuary’s forest in the green Langata suburb.

Owned by a family of artists, Eden is filled with paintings, sculptures, ceramics and artefacts. Blending the feel of a private home, private gallery and a deeply stylish boutique retreat, the property’s two buildings contain eight unique rooms – three in the main house and five, including three split level loft apartments in the studio annex.

Shared spaces include glorious lounges and The Deck, a restaurant and bar overlooking a small lake and forest beyond. Created to be much more than just an overnight stay, this is a great base from which to explore Nairobi. Nairobi National Park, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Karen Blixen Museum and the Giraffe Centre are all within a short driving distance and the hotel is within easy reach of Nairobi’s most interesting restaurants, eclectic shopping experiences and artist studios.
