With nine hotels, more than 1,400 rooms and seven brands in Kenya, Accor is competing for a bigger share of the country’s business travel, conferences and leisure market.
Kenya Country Manager Simon Hodson says Nairobi added more than 2,000 hotel rooms in 12–18 months, with approximately 1,000 more expected in the following year.
