Emara Ole Sereni

Emara Ole Sereni, a gem in Nairobi’s hospitality scene since 2009, is where contemporary luxury meets the untamed beauty of Africa. Situated where the urban landscape meets the wilderness of Nairobi National Park, this hotel offers an experience that’s both enchanting and vibrant.

The initial encounter with the hotel might feel a bit overwhelming due to the stringent security measures, setting the stage for an environment that’s both safe and lively. As you navigate through the hotel, the decor strikes a chord with its shine and the eclectic art pieces, leading you to a reception that’s not at the entrance but on the first floor, an architectural choice that adds to the hotel’s unique character.

The layout of Emara Ole Sereni resembles a sleek, modern vessel, with its long corridor-like structure culminating in a terrace that overlooks the park, where the dance music often plays into the night, reflecting the hotel’s popularity among airline staff. This hotel isn’t just about its proximity to nature; it’s a place where urbanites come to relax, with its expansive development catering to weekend getaways for Nairobi’s well-to-do.
