Soames Hotel and Jacks Bar is a beautiful hotel and restaurant, located 7km from Nanyuki town on the Nanyuki Naro-Moru highway.

Opening in 2015 to meet a need for a stylish, small and personal, mid-range priced hotel in the Nanyuki region of northern Kenya, for weekenders, holiday makers and business clients. And we are thrilled with the way it turned out, and continues to receive great reviews and support.

Soames is a classic contemporary style hotel, with a clean cut modern look, simply and tastefully furnished. Located just a few KMs out of Nanyuki town, Soames is set within a 100 acre private property – surrounded by grassy fields with uninterrupted views of Mount Kenya that lies on the horizon and reminds us why its Kenya’s highest and most impressive mountain.

Who was Jack Soames

Jack Soames came to Kenya, aged 32 years in 1920, and bought many thousands of acres in the Burguret area near Nanyuki.

Jack was a part of the wild ‘Happy Valley’ set that kicked off in the 1920’s when British aristocrats, with power and privilege, settled in Kenya’s Rift Valley. In 1941, the shocking and unresolved high society murder of Josslyn Hay, the 22nd Earl of Erroll, occurred Jack Soames stood as a prosecution witness in the trial against the accused - Sir Henry John Delves Broughton, the 11th Baronet – who was later acquitted at trial for lack of evidence.

In 1932, Jack Soames sold his farm – called Ol Loigululu - to Fowler, and in 1964 it again changed hands to Danish farmer Ole Jacobsen. In the 1990’s, after Jacobsen died, the farm was subdivide and sold, and Jamie Roberts bought the original farm house, which remains as it was, together with 100 acres of land, on which today stands Soames Hotel & Jack’s Bar.
