The owner has <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gkPYIWqNS_9RGWv_xiToaVZ_D2YgD92Q0E503">struck an agreement</a> with Hyatt to serve alcohol in the hotel's restaurant on the 40th floor. This restaurant will actually be a Hyatt enterprise so the sheik doesn't have to be involved in the sale juliana 2008-08-26T16:20:26-05:00 Hairy Lemon Island: The Hairy Lemon is Neither Hairy Nor a Lemon But Just Right http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/8/8/113010/2094

With a name like Hairy Lemon, this hotel has completely piqued our interest. What is a hairy lemon? Does the hotel serve them here? Not quite.

The Irish owners of this Ugandan retreat along the Nile River outside of Kampala named the place after a favorite pub in Dublin. You'll find birds, monkeys, and kayakers, but no lemons and not that much hair.

If you haven't been, Kampala is hot, dusty, dirty, and busy. Thus the Hairy Lemon might just be the best place within an hour's drive to get away from all that pollution and those con men trying to get away with your money. ]]> ScarlettLion 2008-08-26T15:20:33-05:00 Search HotelChatter Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
