Kenya is among three African countries that have been earmarked for the next expansion phase of Swiss-owned Movenpick Hotels & Resorts into the continent. The global brand, which already owns 23 properties and cruise ships mostly in the North and Western part of the continent, plans to open three up-scale hotels in Nairobi, Abidjan and Abuja by 2019.
The expansion will see the opening of the Movenpick Hotel & Residences in Nairobi in mid-2016.
