PHOENIX, ARIZONA – Best Western Hotels & Resorts introduced three new properties in Kenya, adding 210 additional rooms to its portfolio in Africa. To support the growing number of hotels, Best Western Hotels & Resorts has expanded its locally based team with the addition of Sales Manager, Aayesha Jada. Aayesha brings 20 years of travel trade experience from both travel agent roles to international hotel sales.
The first of these hotels is the Best Western Plus Westlands which opened its doors to guests mid-December of last year. This property is located in the heart of Nairobi’s upmarket entertainment and vibrant Westlands district, directly behind the Sarit Centre shopping mall and Expo Centre. This hotel sits close to the Central Business District and the Kenyatta International Convention Centre.

Other features include a dedicated meetings floor, free Wi-Fi, a fully equipped gym, 24-hour room service, bathrobes and slippers in all 101 air-conditioned rooms. The hotel’s conference center is sought after for its spacious and flexible layout. Asiatic, a pan-Asian bar and lounge found within the hotel, is set to become the city’s most compelling rooftop destination which provides a landmark dining experience set against the stunning Nairobi cityscape.
Later in the month of December, Best Western Kisumu was welcomed. This contemporary hotel is located in the heart of Kisumu City. Best Western Kisumu offers contemporary interiors and premium amenities making it a pleasurable experience for both leisure and corporate visits. The property contains 44 comfortable bedrooms, each offering free wireless high-speed internet access.

In addition to state-of-the-art meeting facilities which can cater for up to 100 delegates and spacious breakout areas, the Best Western Kisumu features one restaurant and bar, offering a mix of beautiful decor and scrumptious food.
The Lake Basin Mall is only steps away from the property, which will lead you directly into the biggest shopping center of the city. The warm hospitality of the locals, the Lake Victoria Sites, Kajulu Hills, and magnificent landscape are unmatched.
The third hotel that will open in Kenya later this month is Best Western Azure Airport. This hotel is situated inside an ultra-modern quintessential shopping mall, located south of Nairobi just 12 kilometers from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. With 64 spectacularly designed rooms and seven suites, Best Western Azure Airport Hotel is the ultimate dream destination for comfort, convenience, and exploration.
