The demand for fully furnished offices and working spaces is steadily increasing in Nairobi driven by multinational firms and an expanding pool of remote and hybrid professionals seeking premium work environments with minimal operational burden.
These new spaces, concentrated in areas such as Westlands, Riverside Drive, Kilimani and Upper Hill, are redefining what tenants can expect from a modern office in East Africa’s economic hub.
Unlike traditional office leases, today’s serviced offices package convenience and prestige into a single monthly fee. Operators are increasingly focused on delivering an experience rather than just a desk and internet.
This explains why these establishments are focusing on hospitality-inspired services, flexible contracts, and curated environments designed to appeal to global standards.
Among the service providers offering such services in Nairobi is Wojo, which prides itself as the leader of co-working.
Located in Upper Hill within the Mercure Hotel, the space is in the financial district, surrounded by banks, international companies, and embassies.
It features a vibrant reception area where guests are warmly received and directed to their respective areas. There is also an upscaled waiting lounge and café area where guests can sit and sip their drinks as they wait to be attended to.
Wojo Nairobi also features a fully furnished boardrooms equipped with teleconferencing systems for meetings, networking events and business workshops.
The private offices and co-working areas feature comfortable office desks and chairs and high-speed internet connection, ensuring customers perform their tasks without interruptions.
There are also soundproof call booths where guests can make their calls without worrying about background noise.
The hotel complex has a lounge bar, all-day dining restaurant, gourmet restaurant, gym and outdoor heated pool, as well as conference facilities.
Wojo provides flexible leasing terms that range from daily to monthly contracts. Cost vary depending on the type of workspace, contract length, and level of access.
Maureen Kinyanjui, a customer at Wojo lauded the facility for its reliability in terms of comfort, accessibility, security, and connectivity.
“The general work areas are comfortable, well-lit, and properly air-conditioned—another underrated but crucial feature in Nairobi’s heat. I’ve found it easy to stay focused for long stretches without feeling drained or stuffy,” she said.
“And then there are the discounts. Whether I’m grabbing lunch, or booking a quick stay for a weekend reset, the dining and accommodation discounts at Mercure have added a touch of affordability and comfort to my routine. It feels like Wojo extends beyond the workspace into a more holistic lifestyle ecosystem,” Maureen added.
