JW Marriott opened its second property in Kenya last month, the JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi in the Westlands commercial district. The other property is the JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge.
Westlands, the entertainment capital of Nairobi, is only 3km from the city's Central Business District, and 20km from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
The 35-storey hotel features 315 guest rooms, five dining options, a Spa by JW, a fitness centre and eight event spaces.
The hotel has over 1 700 sqm of meeting and event spaces for corporate events and family gatherings or celebrations. This includes the Grand Ballroom, with capacity for 800 guests.
The dining options include the MIDI Café & Patisserie, which serves drinks, pastries and light breakfasts; Myna Restaurant which offers buffet-style breakfasts and brunches; and Hudson Tavern Bar & Grill, a high-end sports bar that serves tapas, mezze and burgers.
Later in the year, the hotel will open 51 serviced apartments and a sky bar and lounge.
The serviced apartments, offered in one-, two-, or three-bedroom options, will offer long-stay guests and family groups a luxury experience.
The dining options that will open later in the year include Mughal, a fine-dining venue on the 31st floor of the hotel, and Mr Pang Sky Bar & Lounge, which will serve Pan-Asian cuisine and mixology.
