Britam and Singaporean lodging firm Ascott in Nairobi hotel deal
International hotel brands have increased investments in Nairobi and are set to add 3,650 rooms in 2026 pushing the city back into the spotlight even as expansion in upcountry destinations continues to gather pace.
Singapore-based international lodging owner-operator the Ascott Limited has expanded its footprint in Nairobi with the signing of a new hotel facility planned for construction in Kilimani.
The 160-room hotel, to be branded Citadines Westview Nairobi, will open in early 2028 and operate alongside the existing Somerset Westview Nairobi serviced apartments, all run by Ascott. Britam Holdings will invest in the Citadines Westview Nairobi project through its property and asset management arm and also stand in as a real estate backer.
