Each room at Zanzibar Palace features air conditioning, high-pressure hot water, ceiling fans, spring box mattresses, mosquito nets, in-house telephone, digital safe, cable network TV, DVD player, bathrobes and hairdryer on request.

The Palace Suites have the wow-factor with the Sherali suite a Victorian inspired space, framed by colonial wooden panelled walls. These walls are in fact shutters and can be opened to let in the light, sounds and aromas of the stone town streets below.

The Dunia Suite is characterized by dark woods and gold, though the roof top open air bathroom accessed by a small staircase is the crowning glory. The high sultans four poster bed requires stools to reach the soft silks that encase you as you sleep like royalty.
