Hemingways Nairobi has a sophisticated and tranquil ambiance. Each of the 45 suites is a generous size, all with walk-in dressing rooms and a terrace with magnificent views of the Ngong Hills.

This 45-room boutique hotel elevates the standard of luxury service for travellers in the region. Beautiful in its symmetry and flooded with natural light, this plantation-style property is airy and spacious. Its 80 square metre bedrooms each have a private balcony overlooking the iconic silhouette of the Ngong Hills.
Hallmark Hemingways hospitality, borne out of decades of expertise in welcoming guests to Kenya, makes you the focus of our every design. This hotel, only a 40-minute drive away from Nairobi’s international airport, completes our definitive Collection which encompasses the beach and the bush.
Our guest-attention is personal and sincere, offering a seamless service from the moment you touchdown in Kenya to the final adieu of your departure. We’re here to enhance your experience and surprise you with detailed care during your stay. Your dedicated butler will know that you prefer Earl Grey to Assam with your scones and Cornish clotted cream, and he’ll remember which trousers you like pressed flat and which ones need a central crease.
So while you’re reposing in the spa or discussing the delicacies of the a la carte menu with our Executive chef in the private dining room, back in your suite your butler will have dimmed the lights, adjusted your personalised pillows, set out your nightcap and arranged the morning’s outing to the game park down to the last detail.
Room
Lofty, expansive rooms with vast, bright en-suite bathrooms are characteristic of our boutique hotel’s wonderful sense of space and use of natural light. We have 45 high-ceilinged rooms, two of which are penthouse style Presidential Suites and 43 Junior Suites culminating in vaulted beams. Muted colours and textured fabrics in ecru and taupe create an ambiance of contemporary-chic while subtle touches of brass, mahogany and leather bear reference to the classic elegance of vintage East African safaris. Your attentive butler is on hand to rustle up a treat from the pantry and tend to the artisan bouquets of fresh roses in your room. Beyond the balustrade of your private balcony, we’ve chosen for you a view of The Green Hills of Africa, as described in Hemingway’s novel.

Dining
The Dining Room serves delectable cuisine from the hotel's Michelin-starred chef, Barry Tonks. Barry’s culinary creations have placed Hemingways on Africa's gourmet food map. Contemporary European-styled dishes with a modern flair take diners on a culinary journey with a variety of international flavours to suit every palate. Enjoy a breakfast of waffles and syrup in true New York-style or a hearty Sunday roast complete with Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Known for the best steaks in Kenya and equally as incredible eggs Benedict, the elegant Brasserie promises a sublime eating experience. Feast on fresh fish flown in daily from the Indian Ocean's early morning catches and be sure to try the chef’s signature tuna dish. High tea takes on a new twist as you taste a selection of hand-made pastries and cakes from the hotel’s patisserie along with golden champagne. Bespoke picnic hampers bursting with freshly-made sandwiches and salads are available for days spent outdoors. And when lights twinkle across the city’s night skyline, share nightcap in the elegant bar where a superb collection of rare cognacs and whiskies will impress even the most discerning aficionados.
