Protea expands East African property

HE four-star Protea Hotel by Marriott
Entebbe, located on the shores of
Lake Victoria and one kilometre
from the airport, is undergoing a
refurbishment and expansion, which
is scheduled to be completed by
December.
“Having good occupancy levels
at the hotel in the past, we have
decided to add 13 rooms, including
one suite, to meet the demand. We
will also refurbish all the existing
bedrooms and corridors, with newlook
bathrooms, new air-conditioning,
beds and carpets,” says Stuart Cook,
md of Protea Hotels Uganda.
The hotel remains open during the
13-week refurbishment.
