Hemingways Hotel Entebbe

Hemingways Hotel Entebbe is a boutique hotel on Mugwanya Road in Entebbe, a short drive of under three kilometres from Entebbe International Airport. It looks out over Lake Victoria and is framed by indigenous trees, giving it a calm, green setting that feels far removed from the bustle of Kampala. The architecture is contemporary, softened by warm African wood finishes. Room choices include classic rooms, lake view and pool view rooms, a luxury suite and a two-bedroom penthouse, and some of the larger lake rooms come with a lounge and kitchen. The garden has an outdoor swimming pool with shaded loungers, and there is a gym and a spa offering massage, sauna and steam. The Wabi Sabi restaurant serves Asian fusion and international dishes with views across the lake. Entebbe is the gateway for most safaris in Uganda, so this is a practical and relaxing place to stay on arrival before the drive or flight to the gorilla forests and savannah parks, or on the last night before an international departure. It suits couples, business travellers and anyone wanting a restful lakeside stop.
