Construction has already begun on the Courtyard by Marriott Nairobi Airport, which will feature around 180 rooms and suites. Each unit will be designed to balance comfort, efficiency, and functionality for modern guests. The hotel will offer two restaurants and bars, a landscaped courtyard with a fire pit, a rooftop fitness centre, an 18-metre swimming pool, and flexible indoor and outdoor event spaces.
The development has secured Preliminary EDGE Advanced Certification from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), recognising its sustainable building design and energy-efficient features.
The property marks Aksaya Estates’ second collaboration with Marriott International in Kenya, following the successful Sankara Nairobi, Autograph Collection hotel in Westlands.
With a global network of more than 9,600 properties across 143 countries and territories, Marriott International continues to expand its footprint in Africa under its diverse portfolio of brands. Courtyard by Marriott is one of the group’s most established brands, known for combining productivity-focused amenities with contemporary comfort.
Aksaya Estates Limited, a Kenya-based real estate investment firm, focuses on long-term investments in commercial real estate. The company’s growing partnership with Marriott underlines continued confidence in Nairobi’s hospitality market and the strategic importance of airport-based accommodation for international travellers and airline crew.
The Courtyard by Marriott Nairobi Airport is expected to strengthen Nairobi’s position as a key regional hub for both corporate and transit travellers while contributing to the broader development of Kenya’s tourism and business infrastructure.
