Blend of warm colours at Karen Guest House

By Caroline NyangaSet on an acre of manicured lawns, the Karen Guest House is a luxurious boutique hotel situated off Lang’ata Road into the lush Nairobi suburb of Karen. It is suitable for short-term rentals, business travellers, holidaymakers and honeymooners. Its proximity to the city centre (about 15km away) and the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (about 10km away) makes it a prime getaway.The rich bright colours inside the guesthouse blend well together making the place appear cool.

The roof tiles are a colour close to peach and mahogany brown blends, which match the hotel’s carpet and cushions.At the lounge and restaurant, rich brown wooden seats that give the house a classy touch surround a chocolate dining wooden table. From the wall to the curtains and the upholstery on the seats, the furnishing is inimitable. Manicured lawnsThe rooms and apartments, which are all self-contained are lit with plasma TVs. Double rooms boast of splendid bathtubs while single rooms have showers. Each room is designed for a special purpose including family gatherings, dining and television viewing.
