Room Descriptions & Facilities

ROOM AND SUITES

There are two standard rooms named Nadia and Rosewood, five suites named Kijani, Sultana, Shaba, Farizah and Arabica and two Palace suites named Sherali and Dunia.

For those who find stairs a difficulty, we would recommend one of the following first floor rooms; Nadia, Kijani or Farizah. 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 suites are larger in size each with their own special features: Kijani is a three room suite with green décor; Sultana is a romantic open plan suite with a huge balcony; Shaba has a brass bed and copper coloured ornaments in the same footprint as Kijani with three rooms to the suite; Farizah is a huge open plan suite with an expansive balcony; and Arabica is Arabian in design with a small balcony on the third floor.

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. The open air bathroom and sundeck put you at the top of the Zanzibar Palace with breath taking panoramic city and ocean views . This is a lovely, but ultimately quirky suite. Honeymooners and romantics looking for that uniqueness and quintessential old world charm should take up residence at this Palace!
