Sarova Stanley Hotel Nairobi/New Stanley Hotel Nairobi

Located at the heart of Nairobi’s central business district, the Sarova Stanley offers you a way to really get a feel of the pulse of Nairobi.

A historical hotel closely tied to the origins of Nairobi as a city (the hotel has existed since 1902 and was Nairobi’s first luxury hotel), the Sarova Stanley offers a lot of old-world charm but also everything you would expect from a modern-day 5-star hotel.

Despite it being so centrally located in noisy Nairobi, the silence achieved in the luxuriously decorated rooms is amazing! I had one of the best night’s sleep of my LIFE(!) at the Sarova Stanley.

Sarova Hotels Renovates a Hotel with Lots of History

Almost two decades ago, Sarova Hotels renovated The New Stanley in Nairobi and renamed it The Sarova Stanley.

I don’t know that I really had an opinion of the hotel when it was The New Stanley. What I know for sure is that I like the hotel as it is now!

I often enjoy sitting at the elegant first-floor Exchange Bar (the location of Nairobi’s first Stock Exchange), looking out onto the busy street or just enjoying the quiet, chic atmosphere while catching up with family and/or friends.

Any talk of The Sarova Stanley would not be complete without mention of The Thorn Tree Café, Sarova Stanley’s open-air pavement brasserie/bistro-style cafe.

Built around an actual thorn tree (the original  existing as early as 1959), The Thorn Tree Café, over the years, served as a message board for settlers from various parts of Kenya.

Today, the thorn tree at The Thorn Tree Cafe Nairobi still has a message board that can be used for messaging, though I’m sure travelers leave messages there more to emulate the past than out of a real need to communicate.

Whatever the case, I always enjoy reading these messages whenever I am at The Thorn Tree.

Today, however, I would like to discuss the cafe’s merits as an eatery rather than as a historical establishment.

The Thorn Tree Café Nairobi

I go to The Sarova Stanley often enough. Usually, I spend most of my time inside the hotel, though, rarely going to the cafe outside.

My experience of the cafe is limited, for the most part, to going there as a little girl with my mother or my aunt and later, as a young woman, passing the cafe on my way home.

On those evenings, the beautiful music playing there would always  beckon me. I would instantly make a mental note to visit it soon.

I recently got an opportunity to visit The Thorn Tree Café again when a friend’s mother suggested that we meet there for a late lunch.

I made my way to the cafe around 4 p.m.

As usual, the tasteful decor and the Sarova Hotels’ welcoming staff were there to greet me. What did not impress me that day was the food I ate.

I chose to have Pita Pockets with Grilled Vegetables, Hummus, and Olives because I had been to the gym earlier in the day and didn’t want to undo my previous efforts.

I was sure that this would be both a healthy and delicious option.
