Wow! Thanks for the attempt at non political discussion! Well done!

I haven't stayed at the "New Stanley Hotel" but have had lunch and dinner there. It is a popular or was? meeting place. Also had a message board to leave messages for other travellers on.

The New Stanley Hotel is a tall multistory hotel, had an outside cafe. In the middle of the urban city Central business district, no longer countryside by many decades.

Back in 1988. What is it now?

I wanted to go to Uganda back in 1988. Not long after Idi Amin. But was not able to. A couple of Kiwis I met on the Mombasa train were heading there soon after.

So never stayed at the Entebbe Victoria Hotel.

Another place in Nairobi to visit and stay is the Muthaiga Club. Both the Norfolk Hotel and the Muthaiga Club were THE places of Colonial Nairobi.

My club, the Naval and Military Club, currently a non person unvaxed member

, used to have associate or reciprocal membership benefits with the Muthaiga Club. Able to stay there, the pool , tennis courts, golf?, restaurant etc etc. Alas I think it is no longer on the list.
