June 25, 2010 – A weekend getaway doesn’t necessarily have to be an out-of-towner.<\/p>\n
It can be a cosy but spacious self-contained room where the noises emanating from Nairobi’s busy life have trouble penetrating the walls. And glass windows.<\/p>\n
Add in a king-size bed and the feel of 300 thread-count sheets against your skin and it just might be the place I was about one week ago.<\/p>\n
I found this perfect weekend getaway room on the VIP side of Tribe Hotel. I was doing some research when I stumbled on it. You know, just in case you read this article.<\/p>\n
I tell you, the corridor that led to room 382 was like a manicured lawn of soft brown carpet and I loved it.![\"TRIBE_SLIPPERS_203271849.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/files\/TRIBE_SLIPPERS_203271849.jpg\" "\\"TRIBE_SLIPPERS_203271849.jpg\\"")
<\/p>\n
There were dark brown silk curtains instead of the usual wallpaper. Giving off the feeling of being somewhere other than the usual Nairobi hotel.<\/p>\n
Laura in Wonderland checked in… The room was bigger than I expected. They called it the Ambassadorial Suite and I obliged by diplomatically checking the room out.<\/p>\n
White, neat, big, classy and important are the words I can use to describe the experience.<\/p>\n
I could have been anyone important as I sampled the lights in the living area, work station, bathroom and next to the bed.<\/p>\n
It’s almost like you’re most definitely a VVIP and the room is begging you to test it – to see if it conforms to your standards.<\/p>\n
The bath tub is standing almost isolated between the shower enclosure and the bed, and from it you can get a clear view of one of the two televisions in the room.<\/p>\n

The sink had items (shampoo, conditioner, lotion…) from Eartherapy Africa and it just looked nice and green (as in environment).<\/p>\n
The room came with quick room service. In 20 minutes, chicken curry, rice and naan knocked at my door and we had a grand ol’ time.<\/p>\n
Thankfully there was a repeat show of the World Cup opening concert, because it was hard to keep my eyes open after the rain shower.<\/p>\n
The room sits on 700 sq. ft. and it costs just as many dollars to spend a night there. It’s worth your troubles…<\/p>\n
NB: Tribe offers a complimentary mini-bar and free high-speed wireless internet with all rooms.<\/p>\n
