The Hemingway Hotel. It was absolutely beautiful. The room itself was the most beautiful hotel room we have ever seen in our life! The service could have been better but the hotel was gorgeous and everyone was super nice!
An unmatched palatial experience, where one feels like royalty. Sunset drinks at the bar with views over the Ngong Hills not to be missed!
