A four star residence on a ridge in Greater Nairobi, built around parking, security and a conference table rather than a short walk to town. It lists a full service set, and it decides the stay for anyone who needs to be here for work rather than to wander the centre.
01What it is
Hemingways Eden Residence lists the pieces of a full service four star hotel: a 24 hour front desk, express check in, concierge, 24 hour security, security features and a smoke detector, free wifi and internet access, free car parking, and wheelchair access. There is a restaurant, a bar, room service, breakfast in room, dinner, a lounge and a garden with a picnic area, plus a kitchen, oven, microwave, coffee and water in the room. Rooms carry a bath or shower, WC, hairdryer, bathrobe, towels, sheets, toiletries and a TV, and the property lists massage, a spa, a laundry service and family rooms. The list is thin on what surrounds it: nothing about a lobby scene, nothing about the street outside, and no afternoon tea, no tours, no car hire beyond a shuttle service.
What that adds up to is a self contained property. Hemingways Eden Residence is 13.52 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 169 minutes on foot in a direct line, so you are not walking into the centre from here. The street is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The kitchen and laundry service suit a longer work stay, and the parking and shuttle suit a group with a car. Suit anyone here for business or a family stopover who wants quiet and a gate. It does not suit a visitor whose plan is the Central Business District on foot.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters to them, which is not the same as being in it. Treat the quarter as a reference point, not an address. Anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and out.
The quarter itself is the western ridge above the centre: new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. It is not the CBD proper but the ridge immediately above it, and the place most of the CBD's office space has been moving to since the 2000s: the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies, and an expressway ramp to the airport. It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The quarter lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.

Book Hemingways Eden Residence if the location on the ridge fits your work, and check the room type against the facilities you actually need, since the kitchen and family rooms are not in every category. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and you book them through app.impt.io. Every confirmed booking removes one tonne of CO2, at no extra cost to you. Five percent of what you pay comes back as IMPT credit, out of the hotel commission rather than added to your bill.
