4- and 5-star hotels in Eldoret
A shortlist of the 5- and 4-star hotels and apartments in Eldoret, drawn from the 86 places to stay listed on this site. It is for travellers who want a rated, higher-class base in the western highlands, whether for a short break, a family stay or work in Uasin Gishu County.
Staying in Eldoret
Eldoret sits in the western highlands of Kenya and is the county seat of Uasin Gishu County, about 265 km northwest of Nairobi in a straight line. The highland setting keeps the air cooler than in many other parts of the country. The town of Iten, known for its high-altitude running camps, is nearby, so some visitors use Eldoret as a base for the surrounding area rather than for the city alone. Eldoret International Airport serves the city, and for many journeys Eldoret is reached by road from Nairobi.
The hotels on this shortlist are spread across the city rather than clustered in one spot. Several sit along Eldoret Nakuru Road and the Eldoret Nakuru Highway, others on Kenyatta Street, Sosian Street, Nandi Road, Uganda Road and Nyerere Road, and some in named apartment blocks such as Ferrum Apartments, Homium Apartments, Senzia Apartments and Kings Square Apartments. That spread suits couples and families who want space and a kitchen in an apartment, and business travellers who want to be on one of the main roads in and out of town.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Eldoret is about 265 km northwest of Nairobi in a straight line. The city is served by Eldoret International Airport. For many journeys, Eldoret is reached by road from Nairobi. The site does not give transfer times or road distances beyond that straight-line figure. Once in the city, the hotels on this shortlist are spread along Eldoret Nakuru Road and the Eldoret Nakuru Highway, on Kenyatta Street, Sosian Street, Nandi Road, Uganda Road and Nyerere Road, and in named apartment blocks, so where you stay decides which side of Eldoret you travel around.
When to go
The site says only that Eldoret is in the western highlands of Kenya, so the air is cooler than in many other parts of the country. Nothing in the site text states a best season, month or event to visit. If cool highland air is the point, the general seasons of the Kenyan highlands are what you would plan around, and the town of Iten and its high-altitude running camps are nearby for visitors based in Eldoret.
