About Kampala Serena Hotel

An excellent blend of five-star polish and pan-African panache, the 152-room Kampala Serena Hotel is a good choice if you find yourself in the capital for a night or two. Located in the thumping heart of the city, there's a good choice of restaurants, a wellness spa and an outdoor pool, and beautifully-landscaped indigenous gardens that make stepping off (or preparing for!) that long-haul flight a little easier. And if you want to do a spot of exploration, it's conveniently located for some pavement pounding through the streets of Kampala.

What you'll love

Wander through the beautiful gardens - inspired by Uganda's abundance of lakes and rivers, they boast impressive water features, a range of indigenous plant species and numerous local birds.

Insiders tip

If you can, request a room on one of the higher floors - they have excellent views over Kampala and watching the twinkling city lights at night is particularly beautiful.

Something to think about

It’s worth heading out for a little exploration, just be sure to book it with the hotel’s travel desk.

The property

Styled as a showcase for Ugandan art, this unique 5-star hotel is home to a wide range of artworks by local creatives. It's also an excellent place for a spot of R&R, and there's a garden auditorium, roof-top terrace, a rock-sculptured pool and a mind-and-body wellness spa. If it's reviving you need, check out one of the three restaurants or two bars - the Pearl of Africa Restaurant boasts the finest a la carte menu in the city.
