Nestled within 12 acres of private gardens in Nairobi, Giraffe Manor is one of the world’s most iconic luxury boutique hotels. Famous for its resident Rothschild giraffes that gracefully visit guests during breakfast and afternoon tea, this historic manor combines elegant 1930s architecture with unforgettable wildlife encounters. Every stay offers a rare opportunity to experience Kenya’s natural beauty while enjoying exceptional hospitality, fine dining, and personalized service.
Built in 1932 in the Scottish manor style, the ivy-covered house sits on the edge of the Langata Forest, just a short drive from Nairobi’s city center. The giraffes are part of a conservation effort to protect the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe, and the manor is closely linked to the nearby Giraffe Centre, which works to support the species and educate visitors. It is the only hotel where you can have a giraffe lean through your dining room window to share your meal.
Inside, the atmosphere is warm and intimate, with antique furnishings, a cozy sitting room with a fireplace, and a small number of individually decorated rooms and suites, some of which are named after the giraffes who have lived on the estate. Guests can enjoy meals in the garden or in the dining room, with giraffes often joining them, as well as peaceful walks through the grounds. The experience is as personal as it is memorable, and rooms are known to book out many months in advance, so early planning is highly recommended.
Built in the 1930s and inspired by classic Scottish manor houses, Giraffe Manor features ivy-covered facades, elegant fireplaces, antique furnishings, and spacious rooms overlooking peaceful gardens.
