"Nairobi’s first hip property is a welcome addition to the respectable but staid choices that have, until recently, summed up the capital’s upscale hotels. Inside, a four-story glass atrium and more than 800 pieces of artwork create a striking nightclub-like space in which modern architecture and traditional African forms intermingle. The 137 rooms and loft-style suites—decorated in shades of ocher, brown, and beige—convey an urban cool, with curved walls and headboards and the contemporary and traditional sculptures on display. Even the least expensive standard rooms have huge glass-walled bathrooms, some with freestanding tubs, packets of ground Kenyan coffee, and complimentary minibar treats. The majority of guests are business travelers taking advantage of the hotel’s high-security location in the Village Market, a gated shopping mall and expat hangout near the embassy district, and 20 minutes by car from the city center. The pool terrace hosts private receptions and cocktail parties on weekends, while the restaurant Epic—which serves grills and a montage of African, Asian, and Italian dishes—attracts an upscale local crowd. Staff are enthusiastic without being obsequious."
"Located in Nairobi’s leafy Gigiri neighborhood — which happens to be the embassy district, and just ten minutes from the city center — the the 137-room Tribe is a perfectly positioned business hotel that looks nothing like a business hotel, more than luxe enough to serve as a place to recharge before or after a trip to trip to the bush, as well. The style is a cosmopolitan one, with art from all over Africa adorning airy, free-flowing interiors, and architecturally there’s hardly a straight line in sight." - Tablet Hotels
