Pan Pacific Hotels Group has opened a luxurious hotel facility called ‘Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Nairobi’ at the Global Trade Centre (GTC) in Westlands, Nairobi.
This marks the first entry by the global hospitality brand in Africa.
The facility comprises 175 high-end one-to-four-bedroom penthouse suites ranging from 82.0 SQM to 309.0 SQM, and various amenities for residents.
The decision by Pan Pacific Hotels Group to set up the facility in Westlands is attributed to several factors including the strategic location of the GTC complex near the Nairobi CBD and other upscale business nodes such as Upper Hill and Spring Valley among others.
The facility also has convenient access to infrastructure through the Nairobi Expressway promoting direct connectivity to and from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), and other major roads such as Waiyaki Way, easing accessibility from the city’s key areas.
There are also various social amenities such as shopping malls, food courts and well-organized delivery service companies easily accessible by residents within the GTC complex.
Nairobi is a prominent travel destination bolstered by Kenya’s majestic tourism heritage which attracts international arrivals. Westlands is attractive for investment in serviced apartments in Nairobi Metropolitan Area (NMA) offering the best rental yields of 9.3% compared to the market average of 6.2%.
Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Nairobi’s opening aligns with Pan Pacific Hotels Group’s global expansion strategy to take up a share of Africa’s hospitality market, by competing with other local and international hospitality brands in Kenya such as; Dusit International, Marriot Bonvoy Hotels, Hilton Hotels, Villa Rosa Kempinski, Radisson Blu Hotels, and PrideInn Group.
