Hemingways Nairobi, an SLH Hotel

I attended the Sunday brunch at Hemingways, and it was absolutely delightful from start to finish. The ambiance was elegant yet relaxed — perfect for a weekend treat. The buffet selection was impressive, with a wide variety of fresh dishes beautifully presented and full of flavor.||The service was exceptional — attentive without being intrusive. Every member of the team was warm, professional, and made me feel genuinely welcome. The live music added a lovely touch, creating the ideal atmosphere to unwind and enjoy the afternoon.||It’s clear that great care goes into every detail at Hemingways, from the food to the service. I highly recommend their Sunday brunch to anyone looking for a five-star dining experience in Nairobi.

I express my gratitude for exemptional service you provided during our visit. All the staffs were amazing. Eunice, our waitress was very knowledgeable and professional. She went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met. We had a nice experience. We enjoyed the ambiance. We are definitely coming back.

My husband and I spent the first night of our honeymoon at Hemingways, and although we were only there for one night before heading off on safari, we were truly sad to leave. The property’s natural beauty and the luxurious rooms are undeniable, but it’s the staff and service that make this place extraordinary. Our server, Newton, was exceptionally professional, attentive, and—most importantly—genuinely kind. He took the time to teach us about ugali and how to cook it properly, which was such a memorable and personal touch. When we returned to Hemingways after our safari for one more night, we were absolutely delighted to see Newton again—and touched that he remembered us. We can’t say enough wonderful things about this property and the incredible team who make it so special. We’re already dreaming about our next visit!

I Highly recommend Hemingways in Karen! The service is top-notch and the food is absolutely delicious. Ample parking is a bonus! It's the perfect spot to unwind with loved ones on a Saturday afternoon. Worth every bite! 👌🍴 Relaxing ambiance and great food make it a must-visit. Can't wait to go back!"

Hemmingways hotel is ideally located in the leafy suburb of Karen, a true gem and it’s giving home away from home vibes.|It’s my second time visiting and the experience is amazing. |All staff are excellent and expertly trained in customer service, from the brasserie team Feliz, Gideon, Lewis, Abigael to the front of house team - Ivonne, Dida and everyone I encountered. ||All in all a time well spent time at a fabulous hotel.

We had the most incredible spa afternoon at Hemingways. The staff were exceptional and the massage was spot on. The day was topped off by a delicious meal in the restaurant- the food was exceptional quality and ambience was perfect. We were served by Peter who was so smiley and happy and genuinely made the experience perfect for us. Thank you Peter and we can’t wait to be back.

Your hotel is stunning. The entrance, lobby, restaurant and surroundings are spectacular. I began my Kenya and Tanzania Safari at your hotel and spent an extra night with you to complete my magical journey. Your staff is top notch. Jones was a wonderful porter and somehow knew I was familiar with my room, so he simply delivered my luggage to the closet. I was dining alone and my server, Abigael, was most professional yet very kind and friendly. She made me feel most welcome, comfortable, and was extremely attentive to my dining experience. Jackie, the restaurant manager followed up to make my dining experience was impeccable. Mildred was most helpful and kind in making sure I was checked out in a timely manner, my luggage was in the proper place and attended to my cash request. You have a world class hotel, and I will return.

We had a wonderful welcome from Hemingway’s. Food excellent. Great accommodation and very friendly staff. It was the start of our holiday and it could not have been better. We could not recommend Hemmingway’s more.
