Marriott International has opened Marriott Executive Apartments in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, marking the brand’s first property in Africa.
Opened in collaboration with Sunshine Business, Marriott Executive Apartments Addis Ababa features 108 fully serviced apartments.
Marriott International Middle East and Africa president Alex Kyriakidis said: "This is the latest in a series of important landmark hotel signings and openings we have made in Africa.
"Africa is important to Marriott International’s growth strategy because of its rapid economic growth, growing middle class and youth population, as well as the expansion of international flights onto the continent."
The new property is located in close proximity to Meskel Square in Bole and the UN-ECA headquarters and conference centre.
In addition, it is adjacent to Bole International Airport, the African Union headquarters and the Ethiopian National Museum.
