(PHOTO:James Wanzala, StandardThe number of hotel rooms in Kenya has more than doubled over the last five years due to heavy investments in the hospitality industry. Of the hotels that have set up since 2013, most of them are in Nairobi and have added 1,700 new rooms in to the market. Another 17 hotels have confirmed plans to set up Nairobi between 2017 and 2020, and would add another 2,000 rooms in the market. The rise in the number of rooms is despite hotel occupancy remaining relatively low and posting marginal growth over the years.
