“A boutique and luxurious option in the serene neighbourhood of Karen. Sumptuous rooms have a colonial feel with grand four posters, vintage style furniture and freestanding baths. With a classic cocktail bar, laid-back brasserie, swimming pool and spa this will be a tough spot to leave.”

Hemingways Nairobi

Hemingways is a colonial-style boutique hotel harking back to the days when its namesake writer explored east Africa. It's set in the leafy and secluded suburbs of Karen looking out over the Ngong Hills, with elegant grounds making for a luxurious stopover between dusty safaris.
