THE
STANLEY HOTEL. - NAIROBI.
From the moment you pass through the century-old revolving
doors, you leave the heat and bustle of modern Nairobi for
a world of cool Victorian elegance. Since it opened its
doors in 1902, The Stanley Hotel has played host to royal
safaris and an array of famous guests. Today, after a total
refurbishment, The Stanley has re-adopted its original name
and much of its original character. The spacious foyer with
its marble floors, leather furniture, antique brass and
wrought iron fittings, recalls a graceful era of grand living.
Guarding the entrance is The Stanley's famous
acacia xanthophildea whose message board, wrapped around
its trunk, and has formed the centerpiece of the legendary
Thorn Tree Café since 1959. Centrally positioned
