Marriott International Enters the Democratic Republic of the Congo with the Opening of Two Hotels in Kinshasa

KINSHASA, Democratic Republic of Congo, December 2, 2025/ -- Marriott International (www.Marriott.com) has made its debut in The Democratic Republic of the Congo with the openings of Protea Hotel by Marriott Kinshasa and Four Points by Sheraton Kinshasa. The launch of these two distinct hotels introduces globally recognised brands to Kinshasa, offering tailored experiences for business and leisure travellers in one of Africa's most vibrant and strategically important capital cities. 

Set along the Congo River, Kinshasa is a dynamic hub for diplomacy, regional trade, and the arts. With a population of over 17 million, the city offers travellers a compelling mix of culture, commerce, and connectivity - from its lively music and culinary scenes to its bustling markets and proximity to Central Africa's natural wonders.

"Entering The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a proud milestone for Marriott International as we continue to grow our footprint across Africa," said Sandra Schulze-Potgieter, Vice President, Premium, Select & Midscale Brands, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Marriott International. "With the openings of Four Points by Sheraton Kinshasa and Protea Hotel by Marriott Kinshasa, we're excited to offer travellers and Marriott Bonvoy members two distinct ways to experience our trusted service and signature brand experiences in this dynamic market."

Both hotels are managed by third-party management company SARV Management LLC.

"Working with Marriott International to bring world-class hospitality to the capital supports the city's growing appeal as a destination for business and leisure, while contributing to local employment and skills development. We believe these openings will play a meaningful role in strengthening the tourism sector and showcasing the vibrancy and potential of Kinshasa on a global stage," said Karim Minsariya, Director, SAMAY Hospitality SARL, the ownership company for both hotels.
