Hemingways Nairobi
Named after writer Ernest Hemingway, this airy and elegant boutique hotel is in a peaceful location in Karen with views of the Ngong Hills. Built in 2013, this white and peppermint-green columned country mansion set among manicured gardens is the sister property to Ol Seki Hemingways Mara. The large luxuriously appointed rooms are housed in six complexes dotted down the hill, each featuring a four-poster bed, sitting area, balcony, and marble bathrooms that have freestanding tubs. A butler service is available. Despite its historic aspirations, the atmosphere is far from stiff, and guests can easily unwind in the brasserie, the sunlit lounge, or outside on the spacious patio. There’s even a large, swimming pool lined with sun loungers, a spa, a steam room and sauna, and a small gym.
