Hemingways Collection represents the definitive portfolio of luxury boutique hotels in Kenya.
Our four iconic properties - Hemingways Nairobi, Ol Seki Hemingways Mara, Hemingways Watamu and Hemingways Eden Residence - built on decades of experience in tailored travel, will make you feel at home in the myriad landscapes of this diverse country. From the glowing amber sunsets of the Maasai Mara to the azure horizon of the Watamu coastline, we will host you with the effortless refinement for which Hemingways is renowned.
If that's not enough, we invite you to witness the sun set Ngong Hills ablaze every evening from the balcony of your suite at Hemingways Nairobi, our boutique city hotel, enveloped in the sanctuary of Karen or escape into absolute tranquility at Hemingways Eden, our charming boutique hotel and private gallery nestled in the leafy suburbs of Karen.
Relax in our spas, indulge in our cuisine, enjoy the very best of Kenyan hospitality and service and ultimately explore the quintessential experience of Africa.
We are delighted to unveil the refreshed Hemingways Collection brand, with a redesigned website, updated logos, colours, and a visual identity uniting all six properties.
Family owned and operated luxury hospitality and travel group, Hemingways Hospitality, has announced the acquisition of Richards River Camp, a pioneering eighteen bed luxury safari camp in Mara North Conservancy in the Masai Mara.
Luxury hospitality and travel group, Hemingways Hospitality, has announced its expansion into Rwanda through the acquisition of Heaven Holdings which includes The Retreat hotel, Fusion Restaurant, Heaven Restaurant and Heaven Boutique Hotel as well as Heaven Experiences, the company’s tour operating arm.
Four iconic boutique hotels in three exclusive destinations in East Africa, the family owned Hemingways Collection offers travellers the quintessential experience of a Kenyan safari and a luxury Indian Ocean retreat complemented by a relaxing and re-energising stay in the peaceful suburb of Karen in Nairobi.
We are thrilled to share our new images of the beautiful new Ol Seki.
As you will recall, we decided to completely renovate (almost rebuild) the bedroom tents and guest areas to elevate the guest experience and enhance the luxurious feel of the camp.
We are delighted to share Ol Seki’s exciting and refreshing new look which elevates the experience of staying at the camp substantially and, we believe, provides a new level luxury for camps in the Mara conservancies.
Hemingways Collection, a luxury boutique hotel chain in Kenya, announced the re-opening of its Hemingways Nairobi and Hemingways Watamu properties from the 24th of June 2020.
Hemingways Collection’s Group CEO, Alastair Addison, said the re-opening of both properties came after careful consideration of what it would entail to fully operate both properties while ensuring staff and guests’ health and safety needs are well catered for.
As the season begins to come to an end and the rains start arriving in the Masai Mara, it’s time for us at Ol Seki Hemingways Mara to take a little break and start our annual maintenance projects. You’ll recall last year we invested significantly in the back of house operations of the camp including installing a new solar power farm to completely remove the camp from grid and electricity power. This has been a huge success and has been extremely well received by our guests. We also built a new kitchen and we are delighted to see the improvement in our cuisine which has resulted from the improved kitchen facility. This year we’re looking at the front of house and the guest experience and to that end, we’re extremely excited to publicise, for the first time, some detailed information about our new pool which we have been promising.
The Hemingways Collection is delighted to announce that Hemingways Nairobi, the group’s luxury hotel in the Karen district of Nairobi, is now a member of the highly exclusive Virtuoso network. With more than 20,000 travel advisors from over 350 agencies and 1,800 travel companies in its ranks, Virtuoso is renowned to be the most prestigious and established travel network in the world.
