The Kampala Serena Hotel’s two phase renovation has been completed. The former Nile Hotel was leased to the Serena Group for 30 years.

The managing director, Serena Hotels Mahmud Janmohamed said that the Implementation was to be done in two phases but in November 2005, the board of directors felt that it would be a mistake to implement phase two after the opening of the hotel as there would be disruption to hotel services.

The initial cost of renovation was estimated at $18m for the first phase. The cost of implementing the first phase was $26.5m, and the project was on schedule for completion in March. Costs went up to $30.5m to complete the at the same time before reopening to the public.

The Kampala Serena Hotel will set new standards related to innovative food and beverage outlets and providing caring service to our clients. Janmohamed said
