EDEN - NAIROBOI

Eden is a luxurious property set within four-acres of forest in the peaceful Nairobi suburb of Langata and is the former home of Tonio and Anna Trzebinski which has been converted into a living museum and private gallery filled with the families own artworks and artefacts collected over a lifetime on the continent.

The Main House was built in 1992 and since then Eden has organically grown into a luxurious and very unique 8 bedroomed hotel with two open plan drawing and dining room areas, a working fireplace, bar, and large veranda attached to the main house.

Nights come alive with the sounds of leopards, hyena and bush babies residing in the neighbouring wildlife sanctuary - a 100-acre indigenous forest home to over 200 bird species and run by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife. Eden’s resident guinea fowl, peacocks and sacred ibis roam around the grounds during the day.

Whilst staying at Eden you will have the opportunity to enjoy a fully immersive contemporary cultural experience within the hotel and across the city with the opportunity to experience a modern Nairobi in a unique way.

LOCATION

Bordering the Giraffe Sanctuary Forest on the outskirts of Nairobi Eden sits in the heart of Langata and is an oasis of tranquillity. Nairobi National Park, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Karen Blixen Museum and the Giraffe Centre are all within a short driving distance and the hotel is within easy reach of Nairobi’s most interesting restaurants, eclectic shopping experiences and artist studios.

HOTEL

Eden is made up of the Main House and Tonio’s Studio and both buildings are available for exclusive hire. The Main House was once the private residence of Anna and her family and offers an open plan drawing and dining room area, large veranda and 3 ensuite bedrooms.

Tonio’s former art studio offers a separate open plan drawing and dining room area, 2 ensuite bedrooms and 3 separate studio lofts.

Every room at Eden is designed and decorated by Anna with stunning treetop views of the grounds. Each of the 8 bedrooms offer filtered drinking water, mosquito nets, bathrobes, a hair dryer, natural bath and body products, an extension cable with adapter functionality and a safe. 

Located in the attic of the Main House, the Divinity Sanctuary is a space for guests to retreat, meditate, pray or read from the personal library of multi-denominational books and texts collected by Anna over the years.

Massage treatments can be enjoyed within Eden’s garden treatment room tucked away on the grounds. 

A complimentary breakfast hamper can be ordered in advance and delivered to guests within the comfort of their rooms. This can also be ordered to take away. Lunch and dinner is not inclusive, and can be booked at Eden’s main restaurant or as part of Eden’s private dining experiences through the hotel’s concierge.

Overlooking a beautiful lake and the neighbouring Giraffe Sanctuary Forest, the hotel’s main restaurant and bar is open to hotel guests and external visitors by reservation only. 

The Artist In Residence Cottage features an open plan living and dining space with a double bedroom facing the kitchen garden and is available for long stay rentals at a weekly rate on a fully serviced basis.   

GIVING BACK

Eden reduces the use of single use plastic by ensuring all drinking water is obtained from the hotel’s own borehole and then purified for drinking and the hotel uses solar energy to heat the water boilers.  Wastewater I s recycled onsite to water the grounds.

The hotel ensures only natural biodegradable cleaning products are used for cleaning, washing and laundry and there is minimal use of fossil fuels and no cut flowers but rather living plants.  All vegetable waste gets fed to Eden’s resident guinea fowl, peacocks and other visiting wildlife

Eden strives to support organic farmers and shop locally where possible to reduce its impact on the environment. All fruit and vegetables are sourced from local farmer’s markets or from Anna’s own kitchen garden and all meat is grass fed and free-range.
