Latitude 0 Degrees
Latitude 0 Degrees, Iconic ‘Latitude’, this is a vibrant and finely-tuned hotel offering 4 star services. Curated original artworks form huge centerpieces in lobbies, ornate hand beaded textiles adorn the stylish bedrooms and our funky recycled and upcycled furniture really pushes the boundaries of local artisans’ talent, and the materials they have to hand. Our ethical attitude towards our existence helps to create a unique vibe that is unlike any formulaic hotel.
Embedded in the greenery of Makindye Hill, Latitude 0° is quite the hospitality giant. Blending Ugandan aesthetics with a contemporary twist and all the mod cons. The artwork and textiles at Latitude 0° are the creations of local artisans, produced with recycled and sustainable materials, and with their one-of-a-kind motifs, you’re never sure if you’ve stepped back in time into a 60s lounge or found yourself in a tropical bar filled with colorful murals. Complete with views overlooking bustling Kampala and the shimmering Lake Victoria, this is an ideal stop-over choice for an East African safari.
Sustainability: As we continue to spread our physical footprint throughout Africa, we are passionate about keeping our other footprints as small and with as little impact as possible. Forging real connections and commitments allows us to create statement interiors that focus on local African authenticity, produced by local communities using recycled, upcycled and sustainable materials. We are proud to be ambassadors for emerging African talent.
