Rooms

Deluxe Room

Hemingways' 45 suites include opulent features such as king-sized beds with Egyptian cotton sheets and complimentary bathrobes and slippers. Natural light floods each room through large windows that frame garden views that can also be enjoyed from your private balcony.  A private butler caters to your every need from the moment you arrive.

The spacious, high-ceilinged rooms are elegantly furnished in contemporary-chic décor, echoing the classic charm of East Africa’s 1920s safari era. Vaulted timber ceilings and touches of gleaming brass add to the luxurious design while natural, earthy tones create sophisticated glamour. Gleaming en suite bathrooms adorned with hand-cut marble and complete with beautiful oval bathtubs make for sensual sanctuaries for body and mind.

There is a mini-bar, a walk-in closet, a television set that slots away when not in use, and a desk with multiple USB and other connections for charging your devices.

The rooms are strung out over several individual buildings, each named after a famous persona connected to Africa in some way. If you would prefer to be close to the reception and dining areas, please let us know when booking as the walking distances and stairs can be taxing. A golf cart service is also available.

Facilities

With communal relaxation areas including a brasserie, a fine dining restaurant, an open wine cellar, and a plush bar, Hemingways Nairobi is known for its superb service and cuisine.

Hemingways has high-speed Wi-Fi throughout as well as a laptop, DVD player, and fax machine available to you on request. Indulge your senses with exotic treatments from the spa where professional stylists soothe away any long-haul stress before you explore the sights and sounds of Kenya’s capital. Enjoy a game drive in nearby Nairobi National Park or sip sundowners high above the city on Champagne Ridge as you take in the glorious views.

Dining

The Dining Room serves delectable cuisine from the hotel's Michelin-starred chef. Top-notch 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 flavors 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.

The décor is Hollywood-meets-Africa, with iconic movie posters and quotes lining the walls.

Known for the best steaks in Kenya and equally 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 Matemwe 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 a nightcap in the elegant bar where a superb collection of rare cognacs and whiskies will impress even the most discerning aficionados.
