Choose this one when your flight, not the city, sets your plans: a heated pool at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport beats a taxi across town. No floor, hours or access rules are published, so confirm before you plan around it.
The pool
The pool is at Four Points by Sheraton on Tower Avenue at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, in Embakasi, and the hotel lists it as heated. The Tazama rooftop restaurant and bar is on site, open for lunch and dinner. Floor, hours and who can use the pool are all unpublished, and that is the main drawback.
Our take
This is the airport pick on our list, and the only one where the location is the whole argument. If you land late or leave early, you can swim without a trip into the city. Sarova Stanley in Nairobi Central publishes a 5th-floor pool, and Emara Ole-Sereni publishes a 10th-floor one, so both tell you more before you book.
The downside is the blank where the access rules should be. Non-guest swimming and the price of a visit are both unstated, so don't count on a day visit. Email or call first, or book a room.

Skip it ifYou want a published floor, set hours or a clear day-visit policy.
Getting in
Access rules for the pool are unpublished. Staying here is the safe route, since a room is the one way in that doesn't depend on an unwritten policy.
No day pass is listed, and none is sold on a pass site that we can find. Tazama is open for lunch and dinner with a casual dress code, but whether eating there gets you to the pool isn't stated.
Tips
- Ask the front desk for the pool's opening hours at booking, since they aren't published.
- Tazama serves lunch and dinner in casual dress, so plan a meal there around your flight times.
Before you go. Contact the hotel about pool hours and non-guest swimming. Neither is published.
