Framed by forest, city lights, and open skies, Nairobi is a capital like no other, where wildlife roams on the edge of the city, and modern energy meets rich culture.

At Hemingways Nairobi and Hemingways Eden Residence, you’ll discover a calm, elevated base from which to explore Kenya’s vibrant urban heart. Both properties offer quiet luxury in leafy Karen, moments from Nairobi National Park and some of the city’s most celebrated cultural attractions.

Your days can be as inspiring or as leisurely as you choose. Walk through the neighbouring Giraffe Sanctuary Forest, visit the renowned Giraffe Centre or the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, and step inside the Karen Blixen Museum for a glimpse into Kenya’s colonial history. Nairobi’s thriving arts scene awaits with contemporary galleries and artisan workshops, while the Karen neighbourhood offers boutique shopping and craft markets.

As the sun sets, explore the city’s lively restaurant and bar scene, from rooftop cocktails with skyline views to world-class dining experiences, before retreating to the peace of Hemingways. Slow breakfasts, tranquil gardens, and suites designed with understated elegance make returning ‘home’ just as memorable as your adventures out. In Nairobi, nature, culture, and comfort flow together effortlessly, and with Hemingways as your base, every moment is shaped with style and ease.
