Holiday Inn Dar Es Salaam City Center by IHG  

In Dar es Salaam’s busy business district, just a 20-minute drive from Julius Nyerere International Airport and a 10-minute walk from the ferry terminal to Zanzibar. Close to embassies, banks and government offices, this family-friendly hotel sits steps from the city’s main services and transport links.

Sleek, air-conditioned rooms feel modern and uncluttered. Expect room perks like a mini-bar and bathrobe for easy comfort. The vibe is contemporary with colorful public spaces and a thatched rooftop setting that brings a coastal edge to the city stay.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, relax in the spa and sauna, or book a massage to unwind. There’s a fitness center and a mini gym for workouts, plus a library, barbeque area and a children’s playroom — real family-friendly touches. On-site conveniences include parking, laundry and concierge services, plus Wi‑Fi throughout.

Eight modern meeting rooms with wireless/high-speed internet support presentations and events. Ask about packages that include refreshments and a three-course lunch.

Dine at Gaucho Restaurant for colorful decor and Tanzanian dishes such as pumpkin and sweet potato curry. Head up to Al Dar Rooftop to unwind with flavoured shisha under a thatched canopy while overlooking the Indian Ocean. There’s also a bar and a café for lighter bites and drinks.
