Hemingways Nairobi, Kenya

A boutique hotel in Nairobi’s leafy Karen suburb, Hemingways Nairobi would make the writer himself proud. The hotel houses 45 themed, butler-serviced suites; private balconies overlook the iconic Ngong Hills. The spa uses locally sourced ingredients to craft customized treatments (a must after a long-haul flight or safari). Spend leisurely days beside the pool or wandering the ten acres of gardens and gently rolling grounds, then return to find your evening’s outfit perfectly pressed for your sundowners in the bar and Josper-oven-cooked steak on the Brasserie’s terrace.

Your dedicated butler will know that you prefer Earl Grey to Assam with your scones, and will remember which trousers you like pressed flat and which ones need a central crease.

So while you are indulging in the spa, relaxing beside the pool or meandering through the gardens, back in your suite, your butler will have dimmed the lights, adjusted your personalized pillows, set out your nightcap and arranged the morning’s outing down to the finest detail.
