Dhow Palace Hotel  

In the heart of historic Stone Town, Zanzibar Town — a boutique hotel set in a 150-year-old merchant’s house. Steps from the People’s Palace Museum, Freddie Mercury Museum and Nakupenda Beach, this family-friendly spot puts markets, shops and seaside excursions within easy reach.

Antiques and classic Swahili beds meet modern comforts in rooms with air conditioning, LCD/cable TVs and many with balconies overlooking the peaceful open-air interior courtyard and pool. The rooftop terrace and courtyard dining let you watch Stone Town life and dramatic island sunsets while you relax.
