Dhow Palace Hotel places you in Stone Town, where a stay in Zanzibar City feels close to the city's history and daily rhythm. Set in a building dating to 1559, this Hotel puts you within easy reach of House of Wonders and the Ferry Port, with Stone Town Beach also nearby. It is a practical base for exploring the neighborhood on foot, then returning to a quieter, more measured pace.

Inside, the rooms are spacious and air conditioned, with Zanzibari-style furniture and décor that give each stay a sense of place. You will also find satellite TV and an electric kettle, with private bathrooms that include a hairdryer. Where available, the room setup makes it easy to settle in for a longer stay, whether you are planning to keep the day simple or use the hotel as a place to reset between outings.

Shared spaces add to that ease. The swimming pool offers a place to pause, while the roof-top terrace opens up wide views above the surrounding streets. The restaurant serves local Zanzibari and international cuisine, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. Parking, wheelchair access, laundry, and transportation services are also available, helping arrivals and everyday logistics feel straightforward.

From here, Stone Town stays close at hand. You can move between historic landmarks, local dining, and the ferry connection without losing your footing in the neighborhood. Dhow Palace Hotel keeps the experience centered on place, with a stay that feels grounded, functional, and distinctly rooted in Stone Town.
