Within walking distance, guests will find restaurants, art galleries, supermarkets, and gyms. And with the Central Business District just 15 minutes away, Zara Garden Hotel Apartments is both a quiet retreat and a connected base.
The hotel’s proximity to the expressway also makes for quick and efficient airport access — a major advantage for guests with early flights or regional travel plans.

Families benefit from the extra space and home-like feel of the apartments, while solo travellers appreciate the safety, flexibility, and signature service that defines every stay at Zara Garden Hotel Apartments.
Food is an important part of the Zara Garden Hotel & Apartments experience. Guests start their day with a generous breakfast spread and often return to Rose Garden, the hotel’s on-site restaurant and bar, for a relaxing lunch or dinner. The menu includes continental favourites alongside something rare and special: a curated Eritrean menu, celebrating the rich, spiced culinary heritage of the Horn of Africa.
From fresh juices and smoothies to cocktails and expertly brewed coffee, the full bar at Rose Garden keeps guests refreshed from morning to night. The ambiance is casual but elegant — the kind of space that welcomes quiet business meetings, family meals, and catch-ups with old friends alike.
Zara Garden Hotel Apartments’ rooftop venues are the heart of its social scene. The View Bar, located on the main rooftop terrace, is a favourite among guests and locals for its open-air setting, creative drinks, and relaxed atmosphere. Just above it, the 360 Rooftop offers stunning panoramic views of the city skyline and Lake Victoria — one of the most striking vantage points in Kampala.
The rooftops and Rose Garden come alive throughout the month with curated events. Every last Sunday of the month, the hotel hosts a soulful live Eritrean jazz night — an evening that brings together guests, locals, and music lovers over beautiful sounds and great food. Guests can also enjoy brunches, live band nights, and seasonal celebrations that reflect Kampala’s cultural energy and creative spirit.
Whether you’re winding down your weekend or celebrating a new arrival in town, Zara Garden Hotel Apartments makes it easy to enjoy the rhythm of the city — from a beautiful rooftop perch.
