The stay
What to know about this stay.
House of Waine holds 11 individually designed rooms in Nairobi's Karen suburb, including a Presidential Suite and a two-bedroom cottage, each named for an aspect of Kenyan culture and landscape, with large marble bathrooms throughout.
A manicured garden and heated pool cover the quieter side of a Nairobi stopover, with Karen's own attractions, the Karen Blixen Museum and the Giraffe Centre among them, a short drive away. Its boutique, residential scale suits travelers wanting a quieter Nairobi base than the city's larger hotels, a comfortable bridge between international flights and the start or end of a Kenya safari.
