About Sarova Stanley
Passing through Sarova Stanley's revolving doors, you leave the hustle and bustle of modern Nairobi and enter into a world of cool Victorian elegance. Since 1902, Sarova Stanley has hosted royal safaris and an array of famous guests. Today, after total refurbishment, Sarova Stanley has readopted its original name and much of its original character, with a spacious foyer furnished with leather upholstery, antique brass and wrought-iron fittings. The world-famous "Acacia xanthrophildea," with a message board wrapped around its trunk, guards the entrance to the legendary Thorn Tree Cafe. This is East Africa's best-known pavement cafe to take a seat and, like Ernest Hemingway, who used to sit here, watch the world go by. Based in the heart of Nairobi's central business district, Sarova Stanley enjoys easy access to major financial institutions, a large number of international organisations, the famous Kenyatta International Conference Centre and the High Court. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is just 18 km (20 min) away while Wilson Airport is 7 km away (10min).
