About JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi
- At 35 storeys, JW Marriott Nairobi is currently the tallest hotel in Kenya, accessible via the Nairobi Expressway with a 20-minute connection to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a deliberate design choice to capture both business and transit luxury demand.
- The architecture was a joint commission between German firm GMP Architekten and Kenyan firm Triad Architects, with interior design by George Wong, an unusual multi-nationality design team for an East African hotel opening.
- The hotel won both Kenya's Leading Hotel Residences and Kenya's Leading Luxury Hotel at the 2025 World Travel Awards, a double win less than a year after opening.
