Hemingways Nairobi, a 45-suite hotel in Karen, lists East African resident rates from US$295 (about 1,984 yuan) for a Deluxe Suite in single occupancy and US$345 (about 2,320 yuan) in double occupancy for 15 October to 19 December 2026, according to its resident-rate flyer as of 14 October 2026.

The same suite is listed at US$450 single and US$605 double for 1 June to 14 October 2026, the flyer says.

The hotel is at 54 Mbagathi Ridge in Karen, according to its contact page. Its Nairobi page places it in "the leafy suburb of Karen" near Nairobi National Park, 40 minutes from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and 30 minutes from Wilson Airport.

The hotel's stay page lists 45 suites in four categories: Deluxe, Executive, Blixen and Hemingways. The resident-rates page of the Hemingways Collection, the hotel's group, describes it as "Nairobi's most elegant all-suite hotel".

On the resident flyer, the Executive Suite is US$395 single and US$445 double for 15 October to 19 December. The Blixen Suite is US$690 and the Hemingways Suite US$790, with the same figure for single and double occupancy. For 1 June to 14 October, the flyer lists the Executive Suite at US$490 single and US$710 double, the Blixen Suite at US$1,180 and the Hemingways Suite at US$1,570.

Children aged 0 to 5 stay free, the flyer says. Children aged 6 to 16 are charged US$150 from 15 October to 19 December and US$220 from 1 June to 14 October. Two children under 16 in their own room pay 75% of the double rate.

Rates are on a bed-and-breakfast basis and quoted in US dollars, inclusive of government taxes, service charge and catering levy. For Nairobi, the Hemingways Collection's resident-rates page lists luxury suite accommodation, daily breakfast and access to all hotel facilities. The hotel's 2026 rack-rate flyer lists Wi-Fi, bottled mineral water, and use of the gym, sauna, steam room and outdoor pool among its standard inclusions.

Proof of East African residency is required at the time of booking, according to the flyer and the resident-rates page. Payment terms are a non-refundable deposit of 20% to confirm the reservation, full payment at least 30 days before check-in, and a 100% cancellation fee for cancellations within 13 days before arrival. The Hemingways Collection's resident-rates page adds that property-specific child policies, occupancy requirements, seasonal validity and additional conditions apply.

Airport transfers and meals other than breakfast are extra on the hotel's rack-rate flyer: US$100 per vehicle (up to three passengers) or US$130 (up to five) from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, including expressway fees, and US$60 or US$80 from Wilson Airport. Lunch or dinner is a supplement of US$65 per person. Check-in on that flyer is from 13:00 and check-out by 10:00.
