The Stanley, established in
1902 is a slice of Victorian elegance right in the
heart of modern Nairobi’s heat and bustle. It has
217 rooms and is the home to
The Stanley
Since 1902
The Stanley has had 3 owners and been renovated
3 times since its inception way back when Nairobi
was little more than a Railway outpost sporting a
few wood and tin buildings.
The Block
Family bought the hotel from Mayence Tate
in 1947 although she still maintained financial
interest. Her husband Fred had passed away in
1937, and much of Mayence's will to continue
involving herself with the hotel's affairs and
management was diminished with his
death.
After operating the hotel under the
name The New Stanley
for about 20 years, The Sarova
Group undertook a massive rehabilitation worth
about US$ 20 million in 1998/99. The management had
resolved that the hotel would revert to its
original name, The Stanley, and so it stands
today.
