A new report shows that plans are already underway to establish 31 new hotels in Kenya this year, with a total of 4,268 rooms. According to the latest Hotel Chain Development Pipeline Africa report from the W Hospitality Group, the move demonstrates that planned and current construction will add 4,268 rooms to the 3,729 units registered the previous year. “In 2023, Marriott International Group opened JW Marriot Lodge in Maasai Mara with 20 rooms. Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts opened doors to its 128-room service suites in Nairobi. Thailand’s Dusit International reopened Dusit Princess Residences Westlands with 100 rooms and CityBlue’s c3 opened Cowrie Shell Residences in Mombasa with 15 rooms,” as seen in BusinessDaily’s report. The increased investment in Kenya’s tourism and hospitality industry results from the country’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
