WHERE TO STAY DURING DISCON 2020

By Margaretta wa Gacheru (posted 6 March 2020)

One reason Rotary D9212’s District Conference 2020 (DISCON 2020) is being held this year at the new Sarit Expo Centre is because it is so strategically located in Westlands.

There are many lovely hotels and gracious, well-priced BnB’s (Bed and Breakfast’s) where our visiting Rotarians can stay. Many of them are within walking distance of the Expo Centre. All the ones listed below are priced per night including breakfast. We also got a special rate for Conference attendants!

The closest one is the Sankara Hotel, just 100 metres away from Sarit, but it is also the most expensive at USD300 and $245 for either a double or single room.

The next closest is the Movenpick Hotel and Residences, just 250 meters from the Centre. It’s priced more reasonably at $180 and $150.

A number of places are said to be around 500 metres away. They include the Best Western Plus Westlands, priced at $210 and $190; the King Fisher at $110 and $100 respectively and Bid Wood Suites at $160 and $140. Pride Inn Westlands is just a bit further away at 550 metres, priced at $120 and $102.

The Zehneria Portico is just a bit further from Sarit at 600 metres, but it’s the most reasonably priced of those on this list. It’s priced at $100 and $90 a night.

The Radisson Park Inn is slightly farther from the Centre at 650 metres, with the rooms priced at $200 and $175.

Finally, the Ibis Styles is a bit further still at 850 metres, but the rooms are almost as moderately priced as the Zehneria at $110 and $90 a night.

So you can make your bookings now, you will be likely to get the hotel or BnB that you want. But if you wait, these places might be full, so it is wise to book now.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the DISCON2020 and at the pre-conference activities as well.
