Nairobi, Kenya
Tribe Hotel
Tribe Hotel, Nairobi’s coolest luxury boutique hotel, encapsulates the city’s African spirit and celebrates its creativity. Warm, earthy shades and traditional craft blends with contemporary design, creating a sense of understated luxury. We are incredibly proud to showcase Tribe Hotel’s unique decor.
From every side of Tribe, the building’s nonconformist angles jut toward blue skies, with sand-colored blocks and stainless steel columns laid artfully in vertical rows. Carefully crafted gourds, figurines, and artwork from all over Africa stare back from tables, walls, and crannies, providing unexpected moments of beauty and giving the hotel a distinctive, African voice.
Meet the host- Shamim Ehsani
“Tribe was conceived from the simple belief that we coexist on a single planet and there is only one Tribe that matters: humankind.”

Kachumbari, a very easy-to-prepare salad, with red onions, tomato, green chili, coriander, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt and pepper. It pairs perfectly with grilled meat, or one can add avocado and cucumbers to be enjoyed on its own.
your favourite object in the hotel?
The art pieces in our presidential suite are particularly special; they include an ancient bronze rider and horseman from Benin and two large Namji fertility wood-carved statues from Cameroon, as well as a painting by Salah-Amar – a prolific artist from Sudan.

The rooms
Take a peek inside
The majority of the 137 bedrooms at Tribe have the business traveller in mind, so they are quite compact, but all rooms have extra-long king-sized beds, rain showers and LCD televisions. That said, natural stone-tiled walls and rustic metals contrast against stainless steel and glass, and local fabrics and handmade wooden furniture add a distinctive African feel.
