Tennis superstar Serena Williams is in Kenya for a three-day charity tour and she's decided to shack up at a very fitting hotel for her, The Serena Hotel in Nairobi.

The one half of the William’s tennis sister-act and nine grand slam singles title winner, was befittingly whisked to Nairobi’s Serena Hotel where she will be based during her stay in the country.

Aside from having the same name as an athletic idol, The Serena Hotel is not a bad place to stay. The hotel has views of downtown Nairobi and the city's Central Park and has some of the modern comforts we need, like a pool, satellite TV and wireless internet hotspots. There's even an in-house salon for beauty treatments in case you spend a few days on safari.

While several reviews would probably not classify this hotel as luxurious in the vein of a Mandarin Oriental or Four Seasons, we're sure Serena is getting the star treatment in the hotel's presidential suite.

Last week The Gansevoort South had Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal play a game of tennis on their rooftop pool as a way to celebrate the Sony Ericsson 2008 Open in Miami Beach. Yes. Play tennis onto of the pool.

Here's a video of the match which is actually very cool especially the aerial views of the Gansevoort's rooftop. We also got a kick of the water ball boys.
