More people are exploring Nairobi, Kenya, and Marriott is taking notice.

Nairobi-a trending destination this fall and the "World's Wildlife Capital-is home to a growing number of hotel brand expansions, the latest of which is the new Four Points by Sheraton.

The 172-room Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi Airport opened this month and is strategically situated in the main complex of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. For added convenience and aesthetics, it offers easy access to major highways and overlooks Nairobi National Park.

"The hotel's unique location together with its warm and genuine service and the defining elements of the Four Points brand is a winning combination that will set us apart," said Vivek Mathur general manager, Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi Airport.

"We are committed to offering guests an uncomplicated travel experience and exactly what they need while on the road be it for business or for leisure" Mathur added.

The Four Points brand has been a win with travelers, wooing them with the modern conveniences people desire when they are away from home.

"Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi Airport is a great addition to our East Africa portfolio and strengthens our rapidly growing presence in the region," said Alex Kyriakidis, president and managing director, Middle East and Africa, Marriott International.

"As a gateway city into the continent, Nairobi is a natural travel hub," Kyriakidis added. "We are confident that with its blend of stylish comfort and genuine service at an honest value, the hotel will meet the rising demand for high-caliber lodging in this fast-growing market and soon emerge as a leading choice among business and leisure travelers."

The Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi Airport capitalizes on its brand appeal with independent travelers, offering the Four Points by Sheraton Four Comfort Bed, complimentary bottled water in all rooms, complimentary Wi-Fi access throughout the property and included breakfast with fresh coffee.

The property also offers some unique features, including a rooftop pool, 3,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, a state-of-the-art fitness center and a free airport shuttle.

Marriott is right to target Kenya and Africa as a whole for brand expansion.

Overall, Africa is in the midst of a tourism boom and Kenya is just one destination that is expanding its profile among visitors, showcasing more than just wildlife experiences.

Travelers can expect to hear a lot more from this growing region.
