The Farizah and Sultana room, have open bathroom and a ten square meter balcony.

The Arabica suite has a generous double bed and a balcony overlooking the rooftops of Stone Town. The semi-separate bathroom has a shower and dressing area with a beautifully crafted Zanzibar dresser.

Beauty, luxury and comfort describe the Sherali Palace suite! Large wooden, sliding windows (without glass – with mosquito-net) surround the room and give a view of the ocean and picturesque Stone Town. The room has a double bed, cushion lounge and divan, features that force you to relax. A romantic tub in the room and a semi-separate bathroom with shower, double basins and dressing area ad up to a seventy square meter dream!
The Dunia Palace suite cannot be described but only enjoyed. A majestic Sultan’s bed and lounge area does not even fill this spacious room. The antique Zanzibar furniture adds to the royal feeling one gets from entering but its bathroom is by far the main attraction. An open-air bathroom on the private balcony includes a Sultan’s bath and deck where one can enjoy sunrise, sunset, a massage, cocktails, meals or just relax and take in the amazing view! This room is perfect for honey-mooners, couples or simply anyone who feel the need for absolute luxury and comfort!

Zanziplanet reviews

The Zanzibar Palace is well located within the heart of Stone Town, and although a relatively new property (opened 2006) it has already attracted many fans. All rooms are authentically decorated to provide a real ‘old world’ feel, but it’s the staffs who really make this property with their excellent attitude and attention to detail.
Book early to avoid disappointment.
