JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi has opened in the Westlands district – the tallest hotel in Kenya with 35 storeys.
The hotel features 315 guestrooms, five internationally inspired dining destinations, a luxury Spa by JW, a swimming pool, fitness centre, and eight event spaces for gatherings and celebrations.
An additional 51 serviced apartments and a sky bar and lounge are slated to open later in the year. The guest rooms and suites, including one Presidential Suite, offer views of the city.
“Situated on the nine top-most floors of the high-rise tower, spacious serviced apartments will offer luxurious, exclusive experiences for long-stay guests and family groups in one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments,” JW Marriott said in a press release.
The Spa by JW offers wellness experiences, including customisable massages and beauty treatments. The Fitness Centre on the fifth floor features a yoga studio, steam room, and an outdoor pool and terrace.
“As JW Marriott expands its presence in Africa, the brand enriches the region with a legacy of luxurious hospitality, seamlessly weaving together its dedication to holistic well-being and fostering meaningful connections throughout the continent,” said Helen Leighton, Vice President, Luxury Brands & Communications, Marriott International, Europe, Middle East & Africa.
“JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi perfectly embodies the city's contemporary yet mindful urban lifestyle. The property combines the warmth of African hospitality with serene spaces where guests can disconnect from distraction, focus on the present moment, and reconnect with what matters most to them,” Leighton added.
Westlands is a social and entertainment hotspot close to Nairobi’s Central Business District and top local attractions, including Nairobi National Museum, Karen Blixen Museum, Maasai Market, Bomas of Kenya, and Karura Forest, an urban upland forest on the outskirts of Nairobi.
The Nairobi expressway links the area to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, which is just a 20-minute drive away.
