About this Hotel THE HOTELWarm, earthy shades and a handpicked collection of tribal crafts invite guests at Nairobi's Tribe Hotel to explore the richness of African culture. The public areas and the 145 rooms and suites carefully incorporate an airy feel reminiscent of urban lofts, giving guests an abundance of space to appreciate the building's atypical angles. An authentic Kenyan vibe can be felt throughout the property, from the sophisticated Jiko restaurant, the well-stocked library, and the garden-wrapped pool, to the adjacent shopping complex, which hosts a weekly Maasai market.
