Property Description
Fairmont The Norfolk is the first stop of a 3-stop magical journey in Kenya by Fairmont. The second stop being Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club, on the slopes of Africa’s second highest peak after Kilimanjaro, a historical property which offers the most magical experience of Kenya among its lush forest and endangered mountain wildlife. The third stop being Fairmont Mara Safari Club, on the edge of Mara River in an intimate conservancy named Olchoro, the first conservancy belonging to local communities and its unique sanctuary sheltering the two last white rhinos of Masai Mara. Fairmont The Norfolk is a peaceful haven for all guests. Since opening its doors, this iconic gem in the heart of Nairobi has remained a celebrated Kenyan landmark and boasts luxurious suites and rooms set around tranquil tropical gardens, an outdoor heated swimming pool, a serene health club and unique dining facilities. An incredible array of adventures including a visit to the famous Nairobi National Park, the elephant orphanage, giraffe centre, national museum and shopping tours await you crowning the hotel’s offerings and making each experience an unforgettable memory. Fairmont The Norfolk is home to beautiful gardens and over ten species of exotic birds in the heart of the city, as well as the showcase of a vintage transportation collection including rickshaws and a vintage Ford roadster, providing an insight into Nairobi’s rich history. Guests also have access to 24 hour valet services as well as laundry and dry cleaning services available from 9 am to 6 pm from Monday to Saturday.

This is a real treasure of a place! The atmosphere is old world charm, the food is fabulous at TATU. The bar is excellent with service and attentiveness to you needs. The gift shop is stellar for some nice jewelry. The facilities are clean as a whistle as they say...breakfast was outstanding with so many choices. The work out facilities are just super great, and the pool is heated. Ok, lastly the ambiance of colonial Africa just fills the air, from the art, to the breezes flowing freely through this wonderful hotel!

這個酒店對中國人極其不友好。 同時到店的有歐美人和我們。歐美人直接就辦手續入住了。而對中國人他説我們提前到了,讓我們必須額外交110美元才能入住。而現在房間很空,入租率很低,不是沒房,有的是房間就是不讓入住。我選擇堅決不額外給錢,讓我們生生等了三個小時以後才辦手續入住。給了一個極差的房間,就在中央空調主機房旁邊,吵的一晚沒睡着。 第二天要離店,我們預訂頁面寫的很清楚,早上10點到12點可以離店。但是早上九點過就不斷的有人催促我們離開。 我們11:20下樓辦離店手續,前台就説我們超時必須加錢。同一時間有歐美人離店,就順暢的辦了離店手續,直接走人。所以這個酒店是歧視中國人。
