Hilton Garden Inn Jomo Kenyatta International Airport
|
NAIROBI & MCLEAN, VA, July 22, 2015-/African Media Agency (AMA)/-Hilton Worldwide
(NYSE: HLT) today announced the signing of a franchise agreement with
Reliance Hotels Ltd to open Hilton Garden Inn Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital. The hotel joins
11 Hilton Garden Inn properties already under development in Africa,
including Hilton Garden Inn Abuja Airport, and is expected to open in early 2016.
The
171 guest room and suites hotel will be located just two kilometers
from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), the largest airport in
Kenya and a busy hub for Sub-Saharan travel. In addition, it will be
situated off Mombasa Road, the main road-link between Nairobi and
Mombasa, making it an ideal base for local, regional and international
visitors.
"Hilton has long pioneered the concept of airport
hotels and in recent years has added new properties in aviation hubs
including London Heathrow, Istanbul Ataturk and Amsterdam Schipol
airports," said Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president of
development, Europe and Africa, for Hilton Worldwide. "Agreeing our
first Hilton Garden Inn for Kenya, and adding a second airport location
to our African portfolio, demonstrates how we are growing and evolving
our presence across the continent with leading brands in convenient
locations."
With a population of more than 3.5 million people,
Nairobi is the largest and most populous city in Eastern Africa. In
addition to being a political and financial center, it is a regional
base for several international companies bringing significant levels of
business travel to the city, where Hilton has been present since 1969
with the well-known Hilton Nairobi. Looking ahead long term plans to
refurbish and expand Jomo Kenyatta International Airport will contribute
to Nairobi's status as a visitor hub in the region.
Noorali
Manji, Chairman of Reliance Hotels Ltd, said, "We are delighted to be
working with Hilton Worldwide to develop the first Hilton Garden Inn for
Kenya, a milestone for the country's hospitality industry. The location
of the hotel will serve travellers well for both inbound and outbound
travel from Nairobi, as well as for the nearby city."
