Built in 1904, the hotel continues to be one of the most beloved landmarks in the city, and the launch point for ‘bucket list’ worthy safaris.

Fairmont The Norfolk Hotel has played a leading role in Kenya's colourful history, and continues to be one of Nairobi's finest and best-known hotels. The town, and later the modern city, of Nairobi, grew up around The Norfolk Hotel, which still occupies a large plot of land in the city with its own private tropical gardens. The hotel is the traditional starting point for safaris and the Lord Delamere Terrace is Nairobi's most famous meeting place, where drinks and light meals are served continuously from morning until midnight to locals and travellers alike. Adjacent to the central business district, the hotel also compliments corporate travel.

The hotel offers accommodation in 170 guest rooms and suites. All guest rooms are luxuriously furnished with plush carpeting, marble bathrooms, and deep velour soft furnishings. Fairmont The Norfolk has been refurbished to give it a modern touch while preserving its traditional charm and unique personality. The guest rooms all have bedside lamps, dressing tables, and built-in wardrobes beside luggage racks. Every room has direct dialling facilities, satellite television, mosquito repellent and air conditioning. Within the grounds lie a heated outdoor swimming pool, health club, tropical landscaped grounds, and a range of restaurants.

Nairobi is home to many museums, markets, art galleries and wildlife centres. Other activities include golf at a course nearby and visits to the Nairobi National Park and other nearby Reserves. The hotel has plenty of opportunities for rest and rejuvenation, but they are happy to arrange day tours and shopping trips for those wanting to explore.
