2 Best Hotels in Entebbe, Uganda

Part of the Marriott chain, Protea Hotel Entebbe offers a convenient base just minutes from the airport. Despite its proximity to the runways, the hotel enjoys a serene lakeside setting with a private stretch of white sand overlooking Lake Victoria. Guests appreciate the tranquility, though the décor in standard rooms feels somewhat uninspired. The hotel’s best feature is its lakeside terrace with panoramic water views—just beware of the occasional evening swarms of (harmless) lake flies. Leisure facilities include a lakefront swimming pool, spa, massage services, and bike rentals. The hotel has 24-hour front desk service and a free airport shuttle (unless it's a big group, in which case US$5 per person). Twin-bedded standard rooms face the airport; deluxe rooms have a double bed, private balcony, and lake view.
