This comfortable hotel is set less than five minutes' walk from the beach at Stone Town and Forodhani Gardens, and other historical sites. The hotel helpfully offers a transfer service to the international airport, eight kilometres away, and guests can easily take a ferry to the mainland, as the ferry terminal is a 12-minute walk from the hotel. The guest rooms are decorated in a combination of African and Arab styles with luxurious four-poster beds, handcrafted furniture, and views of the city or garden. After a busy day exploring the area, guests can sip a drink at the cocktail bar with 360-degree views of Stone Town and the Indian Ocean, all during an exotic island holiday.
