Hemingways Nairobi is a luxury, boutique hotel set in the quiet and exclusive suburb of Karen, just south of Nairobi. It is positioned between Nairobi National Park and the foot of the Ngong Hills to the south west of the city.

It is generally believed that the suburb was named after Karen Blixen, the Danish author of Out of Africa; her farm was located just a two minute drive from the hotel.

This luxury, boutique plantation-style property fits discreetly into the rolling landscape and blends into the traditional Karen architecture. All 45 of the expansive guest suites feature views over the

forested valley and most importantly, the famous Ngong Hills. These 45 suites are arranged over the ground and upper floors of two wings, The Hemingway Wing and The Blixen Wing. All the suites are airy and bright with four poster beds.

The dedicated staff will ensure outstanding services and attention to detail for guests through personalised butler and valet services.

Hemingways Nairobi offers tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of Nairobi city centre, which is only 14km away and a few minutes’ drive from the hotel are the Karen Blixen Museum, Nairobi National Park and the Giraffe Centre.

Region

Nairobi is the beating heart of Kenya. This cosmopolitan and energetic city is juxtaposed next to the tranquility of its rural surroundings. With a vibrant nightlife and plenty of cultural sites, such as the Karen Blixen museum, Nairobi remains true to its roots, yet is unrestrained by them, as it seeks to push forward into the 21st century with the same ambition and pace that proved so successful in the 20th.

Besides its urban attractions, Nairobi is the perfect base from which to explore Kenya. Within reach are the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the AFEW Giraffe Centre as well as the Nairobi National Park, meaning that the city is able to fuse culture and nature.

It is this unique combination of experiences that make people fall unexpectedly in love with Nairobi. Consequently, it is easy to see why it has come to be known as 'The Capital of Wildlife'.

Kenya is a country with three distinct types of climate: the coastal region is hot and humid; the mountains and plateaus are temperate; and the north and east are hot and dry. Like it’s equatorial neighbour, Ethiopia, Kenya only experiences small seasonal variations in temperature. However, the warmest period is between February and March, and the coolest months are July and August.

The two prevailing winds create two seasons: from October to March, the hot and originally dry winds come from Arabia, whereas, from April to September, the prevailing winds are cooler and wetter, and come from the Indian Ocean. At the beginning of these two periods there are two short rainy seasons. The most intense rains are between March and May, and the less intense rains from October to December.
