Eight landscaped acres in Nairobi's Runda district give Glee Nairobi the scale of an urban resort rather than a conventional city hotel. Its 211 rooms and suites, designed by Kristina Zanic, combine warm timber, textured fabrics and broad windows overlooking the gardens or surrounding neighbourhood. Six restaurants and bars range from relaxed all-day dining to rooftop and poolside settings, joined by a heated pool with swim-up bar, spa and fitness facilities. A raised skywalk moves through the tree canopy, linking different parts of the grounds above lawns and dense planting.
