From our beginnings on the palm-lined shores of Watamu to the wildlife-rich Mara, the cultural heart of Kigali, and Nairobi’s leafy elegance, our mission has remained the same: to deliver world-class service with warmth, authenticity, and unforgettable style.
Hemingways Watamu opens its doors on the Kenyan coast. Named after the legendary author and explorer, this iconic beachfront hotel quickly becomes a beloved retreat for travellers seeking elegance and ease by the Indian Ocean.
The Collection expands into safari with the launch of Hemingways Ol Seki Mara, a luxury tented camp nestled in the exclusive Naboisho Conservancy, offering guests unrivalled privacy, abundant wildlife, and immersive cultural experiences.
Hemingways Nairobi is unveiled, a new benchmark for luxury in Kenya’s capital. With sweeping views of the Ngong Hills, spacious suites, and impeccable service, it quickly earns its place as one of Africa’s finest boutique hotels.
Hemingways Eden Residence opens in Nairobi. This art-filled private estate celebrates design, culture, and creativity in a tranquil forest setting, offering guests a completely different kind of stay in the capital.
Today, Hemingways Collection continues to set the standard for personalised luxury in Kenya and beyond. The recent acquisitions of Hemingways River Camp Mara (formerly Richard’s River Camp) and Hemingways Retreat Kigali mark a thoughtful expansion into East Africa’s most iconic destinations. These additions reflect our long-term commitment to responsible tourism, while honouring the teams, traditions, and immersive experiences that define each property. Across every stay, whether on safari, by the coast, or in the city, our guests can expect exceptional service, genuine care, and a deep respect for place.
