1 Night: Hemingways Nairobi
Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met and assisted to transfer to Hemingways Nairobi. Overlooking the Ngong Hills in Nairobi’s tranquil and upscale neighbourhood of Karen, this luxurious boutique hotel is a haven of elegant charm. With great service and a tranquil atmosphere, Hemingways Nairobi makes an ideal 1- or 2-night stopover for travellers beginning or ending their Kenya safari. It is popular with high-level delegations and VIPs, and is a sought-after meeting place for well-heeled Kenyans.
Brilliantly decorated in a high colonial plantation style, Hemingways Nairobi is a gem of a boutique hotel located in the lush and quiet Nairobi suburb of Karen (named for Karen Blixen, who wrote Out of Africa under her pen name Isak Dinesen. Her beloved Ngong Hills are evocatively visible from the balcony of all Hemingways rooms.) However many stars a luxury hotel these days is said to merit—five? six?—Hemingways deserves the fullest measure. Its amenities are topflight: one of the capital city’s premier restaurants; spacious, individually and artfully decorated rooms; a sparkling spa, and its service is expert, amiable, and 24-hour-constant. We and our guests attest that Hemingways doesn’t exaggerate when they say that “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.”
