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.
