What is a historic hotel like in Nairobi?
Guests who choose historic hotels have a chance to stay in a place officially recognised with a national historic designation.

These types of hotels in Nairobi typically preserve original qualities like traditional architecture and period features in guestrooms or communal spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the physical building and architecture. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the surrounding community.
Do historic hotels in Nairobi have modern facilities?
Yes, every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Visitors can expect the usual amenities you'd find in a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. When you book a historic hotel in Nairobi, it doesn't mean you're picking a place that's uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
