Nairobi Hemingways is unlike any other accommodation in the Kenyan capital. The standard of accommodation and service is unmatched in the Kenyan capital, and Hemingways retains its exclusivity with just 45 rooms running down the gently sloping property.

Hemingways is a luxurious and spoiling option for couples and families alike who are spending the night in Nairobi either before or after heading out on safari, or for those after a comfortable and well located base in the heart of the famous suburb.
