Sure, it’s the only five-star hotel at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. But there are plenty of other reasons to overnight, spend the day or while away a couple of hours between flights at the Crowne Plaza Nairobi Airport.

The hotel’s free shuttle can whish you from the terminals to the Crowne Plaza in just three minutes. Private airport or city transfers can also be arranged.

If you’re not spending the night book a short-stay day room, which gives swimming pool, fitness center and business center access.

Another option is the hotel’s Euphoria Spa. The “Layover Dream” was created especially for people who don’t have a lot of time between flights. The two-hour treatment includes massage, body scrub, facial clean and steam room. There’s also a “Jet Lag Recovery Massage” for those who have just stepped off a long flight.

And don’t forget about the Crowne Plaza’s food and beverage options: the 24-hour Aroma coffee shop; breakfast, lunch or dinner at Kitchen 9; and drinks at the Velocity Bar (open 3 PM to midnight).
