This colonial-style boutique hotel is created in the style that the famous writer would have loved and is set to attract fans who wish to follow in his footsteps. The hotel looks out onto the pretty Ngong Hills and provides guests with plenty of amenities to make use of in between exciting safaris. Although the hotel appears to be extremely large and grand from the outside, there are just 45 rooms in total and they are arranged into six different themed categories. Lovers of pure luxury should secure one of the expansive presidential suites, which feature huge balconies that overlook the picturesque gardens and all include decadent en suite bathrooms.
