Hemingways Nairobi 

Butler service all the way

This plantation-style property offers an exclusive experience away from Nairobi’s centre.

From the moment you arrive, Hemingways makes an impression. Enter the beautiful colonial-style buildings fronted by manicured lawns and you’ll find a warm welcome, a tranquil atmosphere and a wonderfully classic interior that’s full of character, highlighted by a sweeping double staircase. It’s the perfect place to begin a Kenya safari in style with a discreet butler service to match. It's a great location for visiting the Karen Blixen Muserm, shopping or a round of golf at the Karen Country Club. After sightseeing in the city or visiting the nearby Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, guests can relax by the pool, work-out in the gym or indulge at the spa, which is set in its own wing overlooking the gardens.

Why we love Hemingways Nairobi

Breakfasts are well-thought out with healthy options, eggs to order or fluffy pancakes. The food at the Brasserie is contemporary European, with steaks cooked on a ‘Josper’ charcoal oven the star of the show. The bar emulates the feel of a private members’ club, with plush dark sofas and rare whiskies served alongside fresh contemporary cocktails. A traditional afternoon tea is served on the terrace between 3pm and 5pm. Expect freshly baked scones, finger sandwiches, handcrafted cakes and a selection of teas or a glass of Prosecco if you prefer.
