Hemingways Nairobi

Hemingways Nairobi - Kenya accommodation

Opened in 2013, in the green suburb of Karen in southwest Nairobi, Hemingways Nairobi has the feel of a country house retreat, complete with a butler for each room, and has quickly established itself as one of the capital’s best luxury hotels.

Hemingways Nairobi is part of the same small group that owns the long-established beach hotel Hemingways Watamu and the luxury safari camp Hemingways Ol Seki Mara in the Mara Naboisho Conservancy.

In every room, polished wood, pastel walls, large, mosquito-netted beds, plenty of pillows and cushions, and cut flowers all deliver a reassuring sense of comfort and style. Standout features of the rooms include: fans as well as air-conditioning; king-size beds (2.25m, 7ft 4in); large TV screens that rise from a chest when required; good-sized room safes containing 3-pin UK-style electric sockets for secure charging of laptops and phones; well lit walk-in wardrobes; and minibar fridges that include fresh milk for tea and coffee.
