The Nairobi Serena Hotel in Kenya remains true to its title and offers an oasis of serenity amidst the bustle of one of Africa’s most vibrant capital cities. Its interior décor reflects an entirely pan-African theme featuring art and inspiration from Ethiopia, the Maghreb, West Africa and East Africa. Offering a range of dining experiences, the hotel is renowned for its ‘Mandhari’ fine-dining restaurant, which is rated as one of the Kenya’s finest. The Nairobi Serena also offers a world-class Conference Centre and the exclusive ‘Maisha’ Health Club and Spa.

L’Andana, a few miles northeast of Castiglione della Pescaia, has two main buildings, the Villa and the Fattoria, which are separated by a delightfully informal Winter Garden made of wrought-iron and glass. An enchanting resort with a gourmand SPA, Tuscan Trattoria, golf driving range and romantic private chapel, L’Andana takes its name from its long driveway, which is flanked by cypresses and maritime pines and enveloped in a magical fairytale atmosphere, within a delightful nature park.
