About Hemingways Nairobi

Hemingways Nairobi is a 45-suite boutique hotel that overlooks the lush Ngong Hills and is located on large grounds. It’s located about 40 minutes away from Nairobi’s international airport in the exclusive and peaceful suburb of Karen (named after Karen Blixen, the author of “Out of Africa” whose farm used to be a 2-minute drive from the hotel).

Guests have the choice to enjoy the service of a dedicated, discreet butler who makes sure that the stay is perfect and without hassles. There’s a bar at the hotel where guests can enjoy delicious cocktails and a restaurant, Brasserie, which serves international cuisine with European and Asian flavours. The onsite 5-star spa has a large menu of treatments for pampering its guests.

As guests are usually on a stopover on their way to a safari lodge, or on business when in Nairobi, there are several tourist attractions close by that can provide entertainment. There’s the Nairobi National Park, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where you can meet orphaned elephants, and the Giraffe Sanctuary.
