About Sheraton Kampala Hotel
The Sheraton Kampala Hotel has been a fixture of Uganda's capital for decades. Situated on Ternan Avenue in the heart of the city, the hotel occupies a generous compound of landscaped gardens that feel surprisingly calm given the busy surroundings. With 236 rooms and suites spread across several categories, it remains one of the largest international-standard hotels in Kampala.
The property is managed under the Marriott umbrella and delivers the kind of predictable comfort that business travelers and conference delegates rely on. Beyond the rooms, the hotel houses multiple dining venues — from the Mediterranean-inspired Seven Seas Restaurant to the garden-set Paradise Grill and the poolside Kyoga Bar. A full-service spa with sauna, steam room, and rooftop garden provides a place to unwind, while the fitness centre, tennis court, and adjacent golf course cater to guests who want to stay active.
For leisure visitors, the Sheraton works well as a transit stop before or after safari. Its central location means easy access to the Uganda Museum, Kasubi Tombs, Owino Market, and the city's growing restaurant scene. Entebbe International Airport is approximately 41 km away, reachable in about an hour depending on traffic.
