Purdy Arms Hotel Karen Nairobi Kenya is a homely yet stylish new family run bed and breakfast, where warm minimalism combines with simple local detailing and great service. This beautiful yet quirky designed B&B arose from derelict colonial home, built in the early 1930s that once belonged to the Purdy family. Thankfully we were able to retain most of the original features, hence it's a unique mix of old and new; an idiosyncratic restoration.

Well located for exploring the attractions of Nairobi and Karen, it is a simple place, furnished in a homely style so after a days hot and dusty meandering, the Purdy Arms offers a calm and cool sanctuary in which to recharge over a drink or two and a meal whilst overlooking the stunning gardens.www.crocodileracers.com
