Karen Gables

Karen Gables is a lovely boutique hotel in the peaceful and verdant Karen district on the west side of Nairobi. At the foot of the Ngong Hills, Karen is an upmarket part of this vibrant city.

Accomodation & Facilities

Built in the style of a Cape Dutch farmhouse, Karen Gables has just seven attractively designed and very spacious air-conditioned rooms with en-suite bathrooms, a fireplace, safe and TV.  Some rooms have views of the lush gardens. The house has a lovely cosy sitting room, a big dining room, a shady verandah, a large pool in the garden, a poolside bar, and seating under a big tree. Although many people just stay overnight in Nairobi, there is in fact a surprising amount to do here, with the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife giraffe centre and the Daphne Sheldrick elephant orphanage nearby, along with Nairobi National Park, Kobetough beads and leatherwork, Matbronze Gallery, and other craft workshops all within easy reach.
