Glee Nairobi
Modern and glamorous — think bold colours, crystal chandeliers, Picasso-inspired private dining rooms, and a 1920s-oriental Peacock bar. It reads more urban resort than business hotel, even though the conference facilities are serious.

Why It Matters
First Michelin Key hotel in Nairobi, LVX member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, and currently setting the benchmark for luxury in the Kenyan capital. The 582 sqm Presidential Suite has a private heated pool — claimed to be the largest hotel suite in Nairobi.
Glee Nairobi sits on eight landscaped acres in the leafy Runda suburb, close to Nairobi's UN headquarters and diplomatic district. It opened in 2024 as a proudly independent 5-star city hotel with genuine resort DNA — marble bathrooms, graphic art, a treetop skywalk, six dining and bar venues, a nightclub, and a full-service spa, all without leaving the property. The interiors are by Dubai-based Kristina Zanic, and the hotel holds one Michelin Key.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Deluxe Room
At 50 sqm, the Deluxe is notably more spacious and can accommodate a third guest. Double vanity sinks in the bathroom, same design language as the Superiors but with more breathing room.
King or Twin · 50 sqmExecutive Suite
A one-bedroom suite at 65 sqm with a separate living room and guest powder room — the separation of living and sleeping areas makes it genuinely usable for hosting. Butler service included. Executive Lounge access.
King · 65 sqmJunior Suite
59 sqm of thoughtfully designed space with premium amenities. Good for both short getaways and longer stays. Personalized service comes standard at this tier.
King · 59 sqmPresidential Suite

King · 582 sqmSuperior Room
The entry-level room, though 32 sqm is a respectable size. King bed, dedicated work desk, marble bathroom with bathtub and walk-in shower, large windows with garden or pool views. Smart TV, minibar (some free items), bedside automation panel.
King or Twin · 32 sqmSuperior Terrace Room
Same footprint as the Superior but with a private outdoor seating terrace — a meaningful upgrade if you want outdoor space to decompress without paying for a full suite.
