Marriott and Hilton are among the global chains driving a boom in planned hotel developments in Africa.
Overall, 104,000 rooms across 577 African hotels and resorts were under construction in 2024, according to advisory company W Hospitality Group, the highest number in the past four years.
Most of the rooms will be in high-end hotels, with Egypt emerging as the most sought-after destination by hoteliers.
In sub-Saharan Africa, the number of new hotels in the pipeline has grown at an annual rate of 4%, W Hospitality said, with Nigeria attracting the most interest.
