MMAC Design Associates has recently been appointed as interior designer on two new Marriott properties – a 4* hotel in Senegal and a 5* hotel & serviced apartment in Uganda. Other African projects of the award-winning design team at MMAC include the acclaimed Hyatt Taghazout, Morocco and the French-colonial inspired luxury retreat for Kempenski on Mahe Island, Seychelles.

The 5* Marriott Hotel and Executive Apartments is located in Nsambya, an upscale hillside neighborhood of Kampala, the capital and largest city in Uganda.

This 258-key, double tower complex draws guests across a transition from old to new Uganda. The urban buzz and vibrant colors of local fashionistas mixes with African heritage in a lobby design that brings the Ugandan hut into an oversized contemporary great room. The native Mutuba tree provides inspiration for the lobby design and its sustainable bark cloth will find its place in the hotel furnishings.  This century’s old traditional practice is one of the first known methods of making fabric. An eco-certified process makes bark cloth an exceptional material rooted both in the past and in the future.

F&B outlets are the main attraction at this exquisite new Marriott destination. With a ground floor African grill restaurant, a lobby lounge, café and juice bar, a dedicated sports bar, and a casual lounge pool bar there is something for everyone. The rooftop bar boasts indoor/outdoor space for white spirits, whiskey and cocktail bars that are sure to become the hangout of trendy Ugandan urbanites.  The upscale Spa and health club with sophisticated, minimal and clean lines will offer an invigorating yet sensual experience. This property is set to be another pearl in the pearl of Africa.

The Four Points by Sheraton is located in the new city of Diamandio, 30km outside of Senegal’s capital, Dhakar. MMAC is delighted to participate in this new development promoted by the government of Senegal to revitalize the local economy.

The Four Points by Sheraton with its 175 keys, elegant lobby & lounge bar, spacious 115 seat restaurant with show kitchen & shaded terrace, four large meeting rooms, wellness center & outdoor pool will be a new landmark in the upcoming Diamadio Sports City. The hotel will provide uncomplicated and comfortable interiors where timeless classicism is intertwined with subtitle African details. The natural beauty of Senegal shines through the property with the use of sustainably sourced materials such as driftwood, rattan & natural rope.  This property appeals to the curious & independent traveler who seeks a healthy work life balance.
