Beautifully adorned in high colonial plantation style, Hemingways Nairobi is a boutique hotel situated in the lush and serene suburb of Karen. Every room offers evocative views of the beloved Ngong Hills from its balcony.
Hemingways merits the highest praise, whether it’s rated five stars or more. The hotel boasts top-tier amenities, including one of Nairobi’s premier restaurants, spacious and artistically decorated rooms, a luxurious spa, and exceptional, friendly, and 24-hour service. Our experience and that of our guests confirm Hemingways’ promise: “Your dedicated butler will know you prefer Earl Grey over Assam with your scones and Cornish clotted cream, and he’ll remember which trousers you like pressed flat and which need a central crease.”

Hemingways, just 45 minutes from Nairobi’s airport, is perfectly situated for exploring the city. Your Bush 2 City Adventure Safari Director will present a personalized program upon our arrival and be there for our departure. A visit to Karen Blixen’s nearby home, now a part of Kenya’s National Museums, offers an inspiring prelude to the safari. The orphaned elephants at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, lovingly cared for, provide an unforgettable experience.
Have you ever leaned out of a second-floor window to pet a giraffe on the head? Probably not. At Giraffe Manor, these gentle giants feel right at home as they freely roam the property. They often poke their heads through open windows, bend their necks to greet you on the terrace, and even join you for breakfast, happily accepting snacks from your hand. Spending time with these extraordinary creatures at Giraffe Manor offers a truly unique and unforgettable experience for guests of all ages.
Giraffe Manor lives up to its name: a charming, Victorian-style mansion with a resident herd of endangered Rothschild giraffes strolling around the grounds, which feature manicured lawns and 140 acres of indigenous forest. It’s quite a sight to see these towering residents peek into the dining room windows at breakfast. Luckily, they prefer acacia leaves over pancakes!
Pax Manor stands as a testament to the art of the “reimagined classic.” A century after its inception as an exclusive colonial retreat, the estate remains a bastion of poise and contemporary elegance.
Offer more than an intimate escape; offer a connection to a stately past. Join us at the intersection of heritage and sophistication, where your stay becomes an indelible part of our storied history.
