TANZANIA: Starwood Launches Four Points In Tanzania

Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide will launch the Four Points by Sheraton brand in Tanzania with the signing of Four Points By Sheraton Arusha and Four Points by Sheraton Dar es Salaam. Together, the hotels will add more than 230 rooms and significantly expand the brand’s presence in East Africa.

“The entry of Four Points to Tanzania is a milestone addition to our rapidly growing footprint in Africa and reflects the strong traction the brand has gained in the region,” said Michael Wale, President, Starwood Hotels and Resorts, Europe, Africa and Middle East.

Owned by Union Trust Limited, the Arusha Hotel, founded in 1894, will be rebranded as a 108-room Four Points by Sheraton after completion of an ongoing renovation. Arusha acts as the major tourist gateway to the Serengeti Safari circuit and Mount Kilimanjaro.

Also a conversion from an existing independent hotel, the 126-room Four Points by Sheraton Dar es Salaam is located in the central business district of Dar es Salaam, close to the dock area.

Both hotels will offer modern rooms as well as food and beverage options including an all-day-dining restaurant and a pool bar. Guests can also experience the brand’s signature Best Brews programme featuring local beers at the lobby bar and lounge – the ideal spot to watch sports matches and unwind with friends and colleagues.

Other hotel facilities include a fitness centre, an outdoor pool and flexible meeting spaces.

Both hotels will provide all of the brand’s defining elements including the signature Four Points bed, free bottled water in all rooms and suites, fast and free WiFi throughout the hotel, and an energizing breakfast.
