Marriott International opened its second Four Points by Sheraton in Tanzania. The new property represents a rebrand of a hotel originally built in 1896 as the official residence of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Since then, the New Africa Hotel was used as a hospital during World War I and a hotel during the British Empire.
Four Points by Sheraton Dar es Salaam, New Africa Hotel features 174 guestrooms, including suites.
“We are confident that with its blend of stylish comfort and genuine service at a great 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,” said Alex Kyriakidis, president and managing director, Middle East and Africa, Marriott International.
The hotel has all-day dining, a coffee shop and a lounge bar. Other amenities include an outdoor pool, full fitness center and 1,000 square feet of flexible meeting space.
