Once the residence of one of the richest men in the Swahili Empire and an integral part of the Stone Town skyline, this is now a hotel and restaurant restored to its former glory. Atmospherically stunning, the hotel is filled with original Zanzibari furnishings and antiques. Creating the impression of the Arabian Nights being brought to life in the 16 quite distinctly different and beautifully decorated bedrooms.
