Overview
Aya Investments Limited, a subsidiary of the Aya Group, have been working on the 24-story building since 2006. As a result of cash shortages and administrative difficulties, the hotel took much longer to complete, with many missed deadlines and multiple postponements of the opening date. When completed, it will be the tallest completed building in the city, at 23 storeys and about 90 metres (300 ft) in height. As of November 2013, the Hilton hotel chain had thirty seven operational properties in Africa, with another seventeen in development. These properties include the Bujumbura Doubletree Hotel.
Construction costs
As of April 2012, the total construction bill for the property was estimated at about US$150 million (UGX:350 billion), according to the Aya Group Chairman, Mohammed Hamid.
Other developments
In February 2011, Mise Design Group LLC., based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, was awarded the contract to design the food and beverage services of the Kampala Hilton Hotel. The Group will design all the eight hotel's dining facilities, including a sports bar, lobby lounge & bar, banquet facility, bakery, staff canteen, pool bar, coffee shop and a specialty restaurant. In June 2013, the Aya Group appointed FEBC International, a global hospitality procurement and project management company, to act as Procurement Management Consultant for Operating Supplies and Equipment (OS&E) services for the Kampala Hilton Hotel. In December 2013, the Hilton Hotels & Resorts, denied rumors that they had pulled out of the deal with the Aya Group, due to construction delays.
