Set within a tall, narrow building, Zanzibar Palace Hotel has just three rooms on each of its three floors. Inside each one is a story of Zanzibar’s history – an exotic combination of Arabian, Indian and English designs. Expect antiques, Persian rugs, rich silks and beautifully carved shutters or doors.
The cool, air-conditioned lobby invites relaxation after a spice tour or an exploration of the city. The onsite restaurant specialises in fresh seafood and game meats, while the bar offers a selection of cocktails and fine wines.
There is also a wonderful spa at the Zanzibar Palace Hotel, offering a wide selection of treatments and therapies. This is an ideal place to soothe bodies tired from hiking through monkey-filled forests, scuba diving offshore coral reefs or wandering the interesting city streets.
