Marriott International has announced its first property in Kenya with the opening of Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi, formerly Best Western Hotel.

The 95 room hotel is located in the upmarket suburb of Hurlingham, close to the city center and within easy access from the surrounding business areas of Westlands, Kilimani and Nairobi Central as well as from the Kenyatta International Airport and the Wilson Airport.

With the acquisition of Starwood Hotels last September, Marriott International, in essence, acquired the Four Points branch.

The Hurlingham property, which had a minor facelift to align with the Four Points Sheraton Brand, will be operated by Marriott International under a Franchise arrangement.
