Other developments

The international hotel chain, Hilton Hotels, having made failed attempts in the past, is expected to enter Uganda with two branded hotels, (a) the 244-room Kampala Hilton Hotel in the Nakasero neighborhood and (b) this hotel with a planned room count of 96 rooms. The 250-room The Pearl of Africa Hotel Kampala began as a planned Hilton-branded establishments, but disagreements halted the partnership.[1][5]
