Kenya has topped key sub Saharan Africa rivals Nigeria and Tanzania in the count of global chain hotel brands presence in the respective countries.
The Knight Frank 2018 hotels report shows Kenya has 68 global hotel brands, ranking higher than Tanzania and Nigeria.
South Africa tops sub-Saharan countries with 430 branded chain hotels.
Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Seychelles are cited as the hotel development hotspots in Eastern Africa, accounting for 27 per cent of the pipeline projects on the continent.
“Nairobi’s position as a major regional hub will be further reinforced by the growth of this sector in the city,” said Ben Woodhams, Managing Director of Knight Frank Kenya.
Nigeria has only 58 global chain hotels while Tanzania has 46 of the branded properties.
