An inspirational blend of 5-star polish and pan-African panache...
An inspirational blend of 5-star polish and pan-African panache, this 152-room world-class Kampala Serena will showcase the cream of Ugandan culture while delivering the ultimate in personalized service, international cuisine, social style and business reliability.
Drawing its architectural inspiration from the abundance of Uganda’s lakes and rivers, the hotel is styled around a central water theme, which manifests itself in the wrought ironwork, mosaic pillars, hand-carved panels, cascading waterfalls and shimmering water gardens alike.
The décor of the hotel is the inspiration of its architect, Jon Cavanagh of Symbion International; who has drawn his inspiration from the very essence of Uganda, which he perceives as being typified by lakes, rivers, lush vegetation and abundant fertility. These themes appear in both the exterior features of the hotel and in the room décor, where softly flowing fabrics, muted colours and organic themes prevail. Jon has also called upon the skills of numerous local artists to create the stunning carved panels, mosaic pillars, beaten copper fretwork, sensational traditional jewellery, beaded wall hangings and hand-carved ‘bambara birds’, which bedeck the communal areas. They include: Yoni Waite (mosaic art), Expedito Wakibulla (wood carving) and Julius Mutungi (rock sculpture).
PROPERTY AMENITIES
* Featuring a 7-meter waterfall, which cascades down a hand-sculptured stone cliff, into a shimmering plunge pool below, the sun-drenched pool terrace offers a magnificent swimming pool, a water park, a children’s pool, a pool bar, a bandstand and a multitude of poolside cocktail option.
* Of the hotel’s many innovations, the bar and dining facilities are perhaps the most inspirational. On the ground floor, the relaxed Italian "Explorer" restaurant offers a uniquely off-beat tribute to Africa’s early explorers by replicating a jungle-engulfed ruined city, reminiscent of a scene from "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Nearby, the atmospheric "In the Mist" bar looks out across the lake through stands of lush-green bamboo, which suggest the misty mountain habitat of Uganda’s famous gorillas. And just beyond the pillar of water that is the central waterfall, the internationally-styled "The Lakes" restaurant suggests the watery depths of a lake, where mosaic fishes dart, weeds shimmer, and faint rays of sunlight filter down from above. Finally, on the first floor, the lustrous "Pearl of Africa" restaurant blends stark black granite with opalescent marble to create a timeless silver screen backdrop for the vibrancy of the restaurant’s world-class cuisine.
* Immediately adjacent to the Kampala Serena Hotel and just 40 kms from Entebbe International Airport, the modernist, two-storey, hexagonal complex of the imposing Kampala Serena Hotel Conference Centre has it all. Set in spacious gardens, it is superbly presented, spaciously interactive, and benefits from all the many attractions of Kampala Serena Hotel, which is accessed via a short walkway.
ROOM AMENITIES
* Spacious, sumptuous and exquisitely presented, room choices range from ‘deluxe’ to ‘executive’, and from panoramic ‘executive suites’ to impressive ‘business suites’; while the ‘Presidential Suite’ is fabulous indeed.
