SHERATON INTRODUCES ‘ROMANCE’ NIGHTS
Lovebirds checking into the Kampala Sheraton Hotel on Friday, Saturday or Sunday can take advantage of a newly introduced ‘Romance’ package at a cost of 230 US Dollars per couple per night.

A dedicated ‘Ladies Night’ every Thursday was also launched earlier in the week.
