Hyatt is strengthening its commitment to Africa with plans to grow its hotel room capacity on the continent by 50% by the end of 2030. This comes on the back of a remarkable 51% room growth achieved in just the past two years, driven by key openings across Kenya, Morocco, Egypt, and Zimbabwe.

Hyatt is strengthening its commitment to Africa with plans to grow its hotel room capacity on the continent by 50% by the end of 2030. This comes on the back of a remarkable 51% room growth achieved in just the past two years, driven by key openings across Kenya, Morocco, Egypt, and Zimbabwe.

Among the most notable milestones is the March 2025 debut of Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands and Hyatt House Nairobi Westlands—Hyatt’s first dual-branded development in Africa. Located along Lower Kabete Road, the property offers two distinct stay experiences under one roof, situated near popular city landmarks including Westgate Mall, Karura Forest, and the Nairobi National Museum. Hyatt Centric Cairo West guestroom

Recent firsts for the brand include:

1. Park Hyatt Marrakech – introducing the luxury Park Hyatt brand to Morocco
2. Hyatt Centric Cairo West – the debut of the Centric brand in Africa
3. Hyatt Regency Harare – The Meikles – the brand’s first property in Zimbabwe
4. Hyatt Regency Nairobi Westlands – marking Hyatt’s first hotel in Kenya.

Looking ahead, Hyatt is set to make strategic entries into new African markets. This includes the highly anticipated opening of Hyatt Regency Lagos Ikeja in Nigeria and the upcoming Park Hyatt Johannesburg, set to launch later this year following a full renovation of The Winston Hotel. The Johannesburg property will feature 31 guestrooms and promises refined, personalised luxury for both business and leisure travellers.

Hyatt’s growing footprint in Africa spans South Africa, Algeria, Morocco, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Egypt.
