Zanzibar Palace Hotel is an exclusive boutique hotel located right in the heart of Stone Town in Zanzibar. Come to experience the authentic Zanzibar atmosphere! We offer a unique style with strong focus on high quality service and modern comfort.

We have three rooms on each of the three floors. Above all, our nine rooms are all different from each other, and in each of them our guests find traces of the Zanzibar’s rich history echoed into their mix of Arabian, Indian and English design.

Our unique atmosphere makes it a perfect place to unwind. In addition, our location makes it an ideal base to explore and experience all the beauties of this magical town and Island.

Our boutique hotel is situated in Stone Town, Zanzibar, in a historical building, which first records back to 1904, when a Bohora merchant named Hassanali Mulla Abdulali Waliji owned a Block of Houses in this part of town.

Independently owned and managed, the hotel has been professionally restyled in March 2014 and again in June 2016. As a result, it is fully up to our guests’ expectations and needs.

We have welcomed guests from all over the world for more than 10 years, however, each guest remains unique to us.

How to find us

We are located in the old center of Stone Town in Kiponda, but we’re reachable by car. At the ‘big tree’ – a giant fig well known in Stone Town – cars can go straight inward over the parking lot. After that they take the road on top of the parking lot at the right, then go forward for about 100 meters, and finally they can stop right in front of our main door. From here, everything in Stone Town is at walking distance. Alternatively, for destinations outside town, there are taxis available at the ‘big tree’, or we can arrange a private driver.
