About
Royal Canaan Nairobi Hotel
Royal Canaan Nairobi Hotel sits on a quiet road off Chaka Road, about 500 metres from Yaya Centre. It is a small, adults-only property where the staff are consistently singled out for their warmth — from security at the gate to the waiters in the restaurant.
The rooms are modern and spotless, with city views, air conditioning, and mini-bars. When you are not out exploring, there is a plunge pool, a spa with massage and beauty treatments, and a fitness centre with a sports trainer. The main bar is a popular spot for a sundowner.
