Dhow Palace Hotel Zanzibar City
About Dhow Palace Hotel Zanzibar City
A historic palace-style hotel set within the narrow streets of Stone Town.
Dhow Palace Hotel Zanzibar City occupies a restored historic building dating back to the 16th century, offering a stay rooted in Zanzibar’s architectural and cultural heritage. The hotel is arranged around a central courtyard, where carved wooden balconies, arched corridors, and antique furnishings create a sense of continuity with the island’s past. Despite its age, the property functions as a full-service city hotel, balancing character with everyday practicality.
At the heart of the hotel, a swimming pool provides a quiet pause from the surrounding streets, while the rooftop terrace opens views across Stone Town’s rooftops toward the sea. An on-site restaurant serves daily breakfast and additional meals, often enjoyed in open-air settings. Wi-Fi is available in public areas, and front desk service operates around the clock.
The location places guests directly within Stone Town, allowing easy access to historic landmarks, waterfront promenades, and local shops. Dhow Palace Hotel Zanzibar City suits travellers looking to stay inside the old city rather than observing it from the outside.
