Imperial Royale Hotel, hotel in Kampala, Uganda
Imperial Royale Hotel is a multi-storey building in central Kampala, offering guest rooms of different categories up to presidential suites, a pool, a fitness area, and a business center. The building also has two underground parking levels and a range of spaces suited to both individual stays and large group events.
The hotel opened in late 2007 and served as the official media hotel during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting held that year, welcoming over 400 international journalists. That early role helped establish it as a reference point for major gatherings in Kampala.
The hotel's name reflects its role as a gathering place for important events and celebrations in Kampala, where visitors come together for special moments. The spaces inside are designed as open areas where people meet, eat, and participate in gatherings, mirroring the everyday social life of the city.
The hotel sits in central Kampala and is easy to reach from the main roads running through the city. The drive from Entebbe Airport takes around one hour by car or taxi.
The hotel has 21 conference halls ranging from a room for 20 people to the Primerose Hall, which holds 2000. This means several large events can take place at the same time within the same building on any given day.
