HOTEL DESCRIPTION: From the day it opened its doors in 1902, The Stanley, a 5 star hotel in Nairobi, has been making history - hosting royal safaris and a long line of living legends. The stature and historical importance of The Stanley was aptly described in a article that appeared in The East African and Rhodesian in 1930 that said, "There is probably no other colony in the British Empire where a hotel has been more intimately associated with communal development and welfare than has The Stanley of Nairobi with the modern history and progress of Kenya. That celebrated establishment has been so long a popular rendezvous of the colonists that it has acquired an individuality entirely of its own".

Kenya's first locally brewed beer was served at The Stanley's long bar in 1923. Ewart Grogan who walked from Cape to Cairo to prove his love for a woman slaked his considerable thirst here. So too did Ernest Hemingway, Denys Finch Hatton and Edward Prince of Wales. At The Stanley, the stars came out at night: Stewart Granger, Ava Gardner, Clark Gable, they all came to The Stanley.

HOTEL FACILITIES: Thorn Tree Cafe The Thorn Tree Cafe is a legendary open-air, bistro style pavement cafe and is most famous for its message board located at the centre of the restaurant. Legend purports that the Thorn tree cafe - named for a single centrally situated Acacia tree - became a makeshift post box for travelers who left mail pinned onto its trunk.

From time immemorial the cafe has been the perfect meeting place for friends and offers a remarkable dining experience in the central business district.

The Exchange Bar History comes to life at The Exchange Bar, once the site of Nairobi's first Stock Exchange, from 1954 until 1991. In 1922, The Long Bar,the Stanley's precursor to The Exchange Bar, famously took delivery of the first ever order from the newly formed Kenya Breweries, makers of such famous local brews as Tusker and Pilsner, and now the largest brewery in the country. The Exchange Bar retains the feel of a traditional English Gentleman's club with its decor while exuding a casual elegance and warm atmosphere that provides a lively meeting place for people from all walks of life.
