Hemingways Eden Residence

At Hemingways Eden, Nairobi's Art Scene Is Front and Center - AFAR

"A boutique Nairobi hotel opened in 2021 by Anna Trzebinski (who originally built it with her late husband as a family home in 1992) that aims to be more than a place to sleep by actively connecting visitors to the city’s creative scene through on-site events and customized art-immersion experiences. Run by a German-born, Kenya-raised fashion designer with deep arts-world connections, the property retains a private-estate feel across four tree-shaded acres and nine rooms, many featuring canopy beds hand-carved by artisans inspired by Lamu Island. The interiors mix antique decor with contemporary African paintings and sculptures from the proprietor’s personal collection and incorporate Samburu and Maasai artifacts, while guides for gallery openings, screenings, and concerts are often drawn from the owner’s creative circle rather than professional tour operators." - Jennifer Flowers
