Captivating design, mindful moments, and vibrant dining destinations await at JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi within Kenya's cosmopolitan capital city.
JW Marriott, part of Marriott Bonvoy's portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, unveils its second property in Kenya with the opening of JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi.
Standing as the tallest hotel in the country with 35 stories in the Westlands commercial district, JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi captures the essence of Kenya's natural beauty and heritage, offering travelers a peaceful escape for the mind, body, and soul.
"The unveiling of JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi marks our exciting debut in the vibrant heart of Kenya's capital city, solidifying our steadfast expansion in Africa, and reinforcing our global footprint," says Bruce Rohr, Vice President & Global Brand Leader, JW Marriott. "JW Marriott extends its commitment to mindfulness and wellness with the opening of the new hotel, inviting guests to indulge in the serene experiences amidst the breathtaking landscape of East Africa. We are excited to welcome travelers on a fulfilling stay imbued with the JW Marriott standard of extraordinary hospitality."
The hotel features 315 sophisticated guestrooms, five internationally-inspired dining destinations, a luxury Spa by JW, swimming pool, fitness center, and eight exceptional event spaces for gatherings and celebrations. An additional 51 spacious serviced apartments and a sky bar & lounge are slated to open later in the year.
"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."
An Urban Sanctuary - Bringing the Outdoors In
The hotel's interior design is largely inspired by the beauty, heritage, and palette of Kenya's great outdoors. Designed by George Wong, the property is inspired by the spirit and story of an African adventure, with an earth-toned color palette of savannah browns, Maasai reds, cultural terracotta, and safari green incorporated throughout its spaces.
These aesthetic choices introduce a new echelon of luxury to the city, featuring intentional spaces that allow guests to connect with the essence of Africa, while enjoying the comforts of a modern urban hotel. Throughout the property a collection of unique works of art - from sculptures and handmade ceramics to wall murals and regional textiles - tell the story of the breathtaking Kenyan landscape.
The guest rooms and suites - including one Presidential Suite - offer guests a contemporary retreat to recharge and reset with breathtaking 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.
Mindful moments can be found at Spa by JW, which offers bespoke wellness experiences for guests during their stay, including customizable massages and beauty treatments to refresh and invigorate the body. Guests can maintain their daily routines at the state-of-the-art Fitness Center on the fifth floor, featuring a yoga studio, steam room, and an outdoor pool and terrace, offering an ideal space for ultimate relaxation.
