Situated in one of Nairobi’s most beautiful and prestigious suburbs, sitting right on the doorstep of the land once owned by the author Karen Blixen, offering the legendary views of the Ngong Hills as she once described in ‘Out of Africa’. Sharing its extensive garden with a mass of birdlife, neighbouring wildlife and a family of charming warthogs, Hogmead never lets you forget its wild African roots. This secure and family-orientated suburb of Nairobi with quiet acacia-lined lanes is truly a home away from home in Kenya’s capital metropolis.
Hogmead has been ravishingly re-mastered into six unique and spacious en-suite rooms, lovingly decorated in elegant furnishings echoing the most beautiful places in Kenya. Each enticingly comfortable king-sized bedroom is individually designed with every attention to detail including Egyptian cotton linens, sleek furnishings and super-plump pillows, whilst blending contemporary touches with traditional Old Country English décor and being accessorised with all the luxuriant amenities and hi-tech finishes you could desire. Set within Hogmead’s leafy gardens, a stable block has been skilfully recreated into seven relaxing day rooms perfect for guests to unwind and freshen-up before continuing with their journey. These en-suite twin rooms are all designed to offer convenient comfort allowing guests to make the most of their short interval in Nairobi.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner is served at your convenience in the dining room or on the veranda, whilst a simple meal can be provided for guests arriving on late flights. Special dietary requirements are also catered for as well as the luxurious option of room service. The bar is open at your leisure and boasts an extensive wine, cocktail and beverage selection.
Designed to encompass both intimacy and privacy, Hogmead offers Nairobi’s only solution to indulgent home-from-home living. The private dining at Hogmead is a flexible and delectable affair, frequently taking place on the house’s impressive veranda allowing meals to be enjoyed in the company of nature. All ingredients and produce are locally sourced with delicious dishes created by local chefs.
Hogmead’s imposing yet warm entrance hall and upper gallery oozes charm and character luring you deeper into the heart of the house where finely selected African artwork bring Hogmead to life, capturing the essence of its wild roots. Connecting the stately and intimate drawing and dining rooms is the central open-air bar and lounge; warmed in the cool evenings by an impressive hand-carved limestone fireplace, the lounge invites you to sit, relax and absorb the magnificent views of the Ngong Hills.
