Getting between Karen and Westlands
Westlands is on the other side of the city from Karen. Daily trips can be long at peak hours, so schedule meetings for mid-morning or later where you can, and leave extra time for the ride back. Uber and Bolt both operate in Karen. Our front desk can help you plan your route.
A base that works for work
Deluxe Rooms have a desk and an ergonomic chair, and the Executive Room adds a separate sitting area. The hotel has fast Wi-Fi and backup power. See our page for business travellers for the full picture.
After the meetings
Karen is quiet in the evening. You can eat on site at Moss Oasis, and The Waterfront Karen is a few steps away. Our front desk is open around the clock, so a late return from town is not a problem.
