The Lake Victoria Hotel was originally constructed and became operational in 1948. During the colonial period, the property was designed as a recreational center for Governor Cohen, serving as a hub for distinguished visitors and dignitaries.
On her visit to Uganda in 1958, Her Majesty The Queen of England chose to reside in this Hotel — a defining moment that cemented our reputation as Uganda's most prestigious address. This royal endorsement reflects the exceptional standards we have maintained for over seven decades.
Today, the Lake Victoria Hotel stands as a proud 4-star heritage property — a tropical oasis just 3.1 km from Entebbe International Airport, offering the perfect blend of colonial elegance and modern comfort. We welcome everyone — from the frequent business traveller to the busy family on a well-deserved holiday — and pride ourselves on making every guest feel truly at home.
Our facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, sun terrace, fully equipped fitness centre, spa & sauna, and on-site shops. Guests enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi, free airport shuttle, free private parking, a buffet restaurant, bar, room service, and rooms with pool or garden views featuring flat-screen TVs with satellite channels.
