Nairobi Norfolk Hotel

 

Considered one of the leading hotels in Africa, the legendary Norfolk has welcomed such travelers as Teddy Roosevelt, the Baron and Baroness von Blixen and more recently James Earl Jones and Robert Redford. For them, The Norfolk is synonymous with glorious sophistication in the heart of Africa. No other hotel in Kenya captures as much of Nairobi's splendid past and exciting present, and few hotels anywhere can claim a more romantic history. Electricity was installed in 1908. The first gourmet chef in Kenya was engaged here from the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Meticulous attention to cuisine has been The Norfolk's reputation ever since. More recently, nouveau cuisine buffs have been drawn by the delectable menus in the Ibis Grill. The Lord Delamere Terrace is a delightful place for tea and people watching, as London-style taxis deliver travelers to the lobby entrance nearby. Located near the center of Nairobi, the hotel has an inner courtyard, which serves as the nucleus for old and new wings.
