Nairobi is Kenya's capital, and is also its biggest city. The name Nairobi comes from the Masai word "Enkare Nyrobi," which means the "place of cool water." There are several hotels in the city that are five star accommodations; but you will just as easily find affordable hotels to stay in. In fact, very often, just because they are five star doesn't mean that they have to be very expensive.

The city is a bustling business center, with a base for a lot of international companies as well. So with that kind of crowd, there are some really great hotels you can stay in, and you will be surprised to know that the prices are the same as they are in the United States or Europe.

One of the nicest hotels you can stay in is the Fairview Hotel Nairobi. If you don't want to spend too much money, you can always look at hotels in Mombasa, which is the second largest city in Kenya, for accommodation facilities.

The Fairview Hotel Nairobi is called a haven of peace and tranquility. It is set amidst about five acres of beautifully sculpted lawns and gardens. The hotel offers very good service and has a wonderful atmosphere as well.

There are also five restaurants within the Fairview Hotel Nairobi that you can choose from, to dine in. A standard room here would cost you about $120, a double would cost you about $162 and a triple would cost you about $255.

Another great hotel to try out in Nairobi is the Sarova Stanley Hotel. Many people, who stay at such hotels, go for the safaris in the African wilderness, and they serve as the start and end of most of the safaris.

If you are looking for a more boutique styled hotel, then the Palacina Hotel is the one for you. It's a great looking colonial hotel. The hotel lobby looks like a living room, instantly making you feel at home. It even has areas in the hotel where you can lounge and read a book. It also has a large veranda, where you can sit and see the wildlife. It also comes with a bar. They have a wonderful farmhouse kitchen, which serves complimentary breakfasts to the guests.

But if you are looking to go on any of Kenya's famous safaris, in the beautiful country of Africa, the Fairview Hotel Nairobi is one hotel you should stay at.
