TheKampala Hilton Hotel is a hotel under construction inKampala, the capital and largest city ofUganda. Under development since 2018, the building was expected to be commissioned in the fourth quarter of 2020.[1]

Dan Twebaze, a Ugandan commercial real-estate developer, began developing the skyscraper in 2018, using his in-houseTwed Construction Limited. On 22 March 2019, representatives ofHilton International signed a hotel management agreement withTWED Property Development Company, to manage the hotel, under the Hilton brand.

The complex will comprise several high-end meeting and conferencing facilities including a ballroom that can accommodate up to 500 guests, parking facilities for up to 518 vehicles, a fitness centre and an outdoor swimming pool. It will also host several restaurants and bars including a sports bar and a rooftop panoramic view bar, offering views of the city, Kampala Golf Course andLake Victoria.

In February 2022,Capital FM Uganda reported that construction of the two tower office-hotel complex was complete. What remained was the interior finishes to Hilton Hotels' specifications. The hotel tower has 19 above-ground floors and the office tower has 16 above-ground floors. Each of the towers has five basement floors. A total of more than 400 direct jobs are available to qualified Ugandans.[4]
The international hotel chain,Hilton Hotels, having made failed attempts in the past, is expected to enter Uganda with two branded hotels, (a) the 96-roomKampala Hilton Garden Inn in theKamwookya neighborhood and (b) this hotel with a planned room count of 257 rooms. The 250-roomThe Pearl of Africa Hotel Kampala began as a planned Hilton-branded establishment, but disagreements halted the partnership.[1][3][4]
