Regular shuttle services operate between Nairobi and Embu, with the hotel being a well-known stop. If you’re flying in, the nearest airstrip is Embu Airport, about 15 minutes away. The hotel can arrange airport transfers upon request. For those coming from Meru or Mount Kenya region, the hotel is easily accessible via public transport or private vehicle.

Tips for Visiting

Book your room at least two weeks in advance, especially during peak business seasons. The hotel’s weekend rates tend to be more favorable, so plan accordingly if you’re flexible with dates. Request a room on the higher floors for better views and less street noise – trust me, it makes a difference!

The restaurant gets pretty busy during lunch hours due to local business crowds, so consider dining slightly earlier or later. And speaking of food, don’t miss trying their morning breakfast spread – it’s quite possibly the best in Embu. Their fresh local coffee is something special.

If you’re driving, the secure parking is a major plus, but spaces can fill up during business hours. Early arrival ensures you snag a good spot. For business travelers, the conference facilities should be booked well in advance as they’re popular with local corporations.

The spa services are a hidden gem – book your treatments at least a day in advance. Oh, and here’s a local secret: the rooftop area during sunset offers amazing views of the town and surrounding landscapes. Perfect spot for those Instagram-worthy shots!

Remember to carry a light jacket or sweater, as Embu’s evenings can get surprisingly cool. The hotel’s proximity to the Kenya National Library Services office makes it an ideal base if you’re interested in local research or historical documents.

For the best value, ask about their corporate rates if you’re traveling for business, or their weekend packages for leisure stays. And don’t forget to join their loyalty program – it comes with some nice perks for frequent visitors.
