A boutique hotel in Nairobi’s leafy Karen suburb, Hemingways Nairobi would make the writer himself proud. The hotel houses 45 themed, butler-serviced suites; private balconies overlook the iconic Ngong Hills.

Spend leisurely days beside the pool or wandering the ten acres of gardens and gently rolling grounds, then return to find your evening’s outfit perfectly pressed for your sundowners in the bar and Josper-oven-cooked steak on the Brasserie’s terrace.
