Nairobi Hilton Hotel was built in the early 1960s by America as a gesture of confidence in the new Kenyan government, led by Jomo Kenyatta from 1963 onwards. All the many floors of the circular tower block complete what was quite a gesture. Its highly central position in Nairobi helps it to dominate an entire block as well as a large portion of the richer side of tourism. All amenities are available (including pool, shopping arcade and communications centre). The hotel underwent extensive renovation in 1996 and offers improved amenities.

The 302-room Nairobi Hilton enjoys a perfect location in the heart of Kenya's capital and provides the business and leisure markets with a superb selection of facilities. All rooms are air-conditioned and have satellite TV, electronic safes, electronic locks and mini bar. Four restaurants are available and one Pub with live entertainment. The Traveller's Restaurant features Italian, Mediterranean, Continental and African cuisine, the Pool Restaurant serves both a la carte and barbeque, Café Americain for delicious coffees and pastries and La Patisserie for quick snacks and cakes. Special recreational amenities include a heated swimming pool, health club facilities, gymnasium, sauna, steam bath and massage. The Ballroom and four meeting rooms can host 500 guests. Local attractions include Nairobi National Park and a nearby golf course with complimentary green fees to hotel residents. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is a 20-minute drive from the hotel.
