Opened in mid 2006 this former large Town House has been lovingly and tastefully renovated by Sebastiaan and his wife Marion. In a short time it has established itself as one of the most prestigious boutique hotels in Stone Town. Much of the furniture and fittings are traditional Zanzibari, as well as genuine antiques. The meticulous attention to detail, the majestic beds and the personal attention give guests a true feeling of royalty.
The tall thin building wraps around an atrium, with just 3 rooms on each of its 3 floors. At the top are 2 superb suites, with al fresco bathrooms and private decks overlooking the towns' ramshackle roofscape. The other 7 bedrooms are no less magical, combining antique furniture, Persian rugs, colourful silks and locally-crafted four-posters to regal, Arabic-Indian effect.
The restaurant serves a continental breakfast and fine French Cuisine (on reservation). Zanzibar Palace Hotel also has an Arabic lounge and bar that serves snacks and all drinks, beautifully decorated cocktails and coffees through out the day.
It is situated in the heart of Old Stone Town adjacent to the former palace of the Sultans of Zanzibar.
