A polished five-star base in the heart of Nairobi — the natural first and last night of nearly every Kenya journey.

Overview
Modern Comfort, Safari Gateway
Nairobi's business and diplomatic district, reimagined as a calm, contemporary landing point before and after time in the bush.
The JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi anchors the Global Trade Centre in Westlands, a short transfer from Wilson Airport where most safari charters depart. Rooms and suites are large, quiet and thoroughly modern — a deliberate contrast to canvas and thatch — with a full-service spa, rooftop pool deck and several restaurants that make an overnight stop feel like part of the holiday rather than a delay before it. For guests arriving jet-lagged or departing after weeks in remote camps, it is the easiest possible transition between two very different paces of life.
