The hotel’s architecture, including a skybridge linking the twin towers, celebrates Kampala’s energy and distinctive landscape, while guestrooms offer views across the city’s renowned seven hills and, from select rooms, partial views of Lake Victoria.
The hotel also features the brand’s signature Greatroom, a modern, open-plan lobby area with comfortable spaces for relaxation, socialising and work, alongside M Club, an exclusive lounge available to Marriott Bonvoy Elite members and guests staying on executive floors, and a dedicated business centre.
