Why fintech delegates choose Karen
A workspace between meetings. Every room has a work desk. Our Wi-Fi runs on Starlink, and a generator covers guest rooms and Wi-Fi during power cuts, so a product demo rehearsal or partner call is less likely to be interrupted. For anything sensitive, follow your own company's security practices, such as using a VPN. No hotel network should replace those safeguards.
Help that frees up your diary. Executive assistants can hand us airport transfers, meals, transport requests and room changes. One WhatsApp message to our team is enough to get started.
A trip that is more than a conference. Stay on after the festival for follow-up meetings on merchant acquiring or partnerships, then take a morning in Nairobi National Park before your flight.
Rooms for your stay
Our finest room, with a king bed and extra space to work. Suited to founders and senior bankers with a heavy call schedule.
King bed and a proper workspace, a practical choice for delegation members.
Deluxe Room with Bathtub and Balcony
Private balcony and freestanding bathtub. Our most requested room, for winding down after two full days.
Balconies and bathtubs are in selected categories only. Some of our premium rooms have a hot tub. Ask us which are free for your dates. Staying for weeks? The One Bedroom Apartment has a separate living area and kitchen facilities.
