A leading international hospitality company has consolidated its presence in Kenya with the opening of a second Four Points by Sheraton hotel in the country’s capital, Nairobi.
Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi Airport, the second hotel to be built in Kenya by Marriott International, is said to be designed for “the modern traveller with an emphasis on approachable design.”
The new hotel that features spacious and modern rooms including suites, offers various dining options, including an all-day dining, a lobby café and a rooftop bar and grill.

With spectacular views of the Nairobi National Park on one side and the runway of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on the other, the rooftop bar and grill that has been named Tazama (look or see in Kiswahili) is aimed at offering guests a sense of authentic locale through food, music and art.
Marriott International says the hotel offers guests the Four Points by Sheraton Four Comfort Bed, complimentary bottled water in all rooms, fast and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel and what it calls ‘an energising breakfast with fresh coffee that helps guests start the day right.’
Other facilities include a rooftop pool, a state-of-the-art fitness centre and a modest spa, indoor and outdoor space for meetings and events and a complimentary shuttle into JKIA terminal throughout the day.
The hotel, that is strategically situated within the main complex of JKIA, is within easy reach from major highways and overlooks the famous Nairobi National Park, perfectly complementing the Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi Hurlingham, located in the city’s central business district which opened earlier in 2017.
