No two rooms match. Furnishings move between Arabian, Indian and English styles, a mix that traces the town's long history as a trading crossroads. The hotel is independently owned and was restyled twice, first in March 2014 and again in June 2016, to keep pace with what guests expect from a small hotel in an old quarter. Rooms carry names rather than numbers. The Honeymoon Suite Dunia spans 69 square metres on the third floor, with a rooftop terrace and an outdoor bathroom built around a Sultan's bathtub. The Palace Suite Sherali, also on the third floor, is done in Victorian style, its wooden sliding panels opening onto views of the ocean and the rooftops below. Smaller rooms, Nadia and Rosewood, keep to 20 square metres with an en suite bathroom of three. Breakfast runs each morning at the Palace Restaurant, with fresh juice, home-baked bread and coffee ground from Tanzania's own plantations. A spa and a small library round out the property. Staff speak English, French, Italian and Swahili, useful given a guest list drawn from well beyond the island. Check-in is at 2pm. The location puts Stone Town's markets, mosques and museums within walking distance of the door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43968609026107,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/20460_2Fzph-sultana11.jpg?v=1786526666"}],"url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/en-za\/collections\/region-zanzibar-urbanwest.oembed","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
