Overview
Kampala’s Social and Design Hub
Sitting among indigenous orchid-filled trees atop Makindye Hill, Latitude 0° pairs sweeping views of Lake Victoria and the city with some of Kampala’s most talked-about dining and social spaces.
Roughly 6km from Kampala's central business district and 45 minutes from Entebbe International Airport, Latitude 0° takes its name from its position almost exactly on the equator. The hotel's 47 rooms and suites make use of natural light and tree canopy views, finished with Swahili and Ugandan art, luxurious linens and bespoke artwork. Beyond the rooms, the property functions as a genuine social hub for the city — two restaurants, three bars, co-working spaces and a calendar of music, art and business events, making it as popular with Kampala residents as with travellers passing through.
