{"product_id":"zanzibar-serena-hotel","title":"Zanzibar Serena Hotel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Zanzibar Serena Hotel sits on Shangani Street in Stone Town, right on the seafront of the Indian Ocean. The building is actually two: an eighteenth-century residence and a nineteenth-century telecommunications house, both carefully restored when the hotel opened in 1997. That restoration work was part of what helped Stone Town earn its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the fifty-one rooms and suites share the same design language — whitewashed walls, high ceilings, carved wood furniture, arched niches, brass lanterns, and mosquito nets over the beds. All rooms have private balconies; the prime and honeymoon rooms open onto large L-shaped balconies with four-poster beds, a hammock, and unobstructed ocean views. The Executive Suite adds a separate sitting room, minibar, and a bathroom with both a bath and a shower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are three places to eat and drink. Baharia restaurant is at pool level and serves international and Swahili food through the day, with a Friday evening Swahili Night by the pool. The Terrace Seafood Restaurant is on the rooftop, with open views over the bay, and serves dinner each evening. Masahani Bar runs through the day and into the night, with live Taarab music and light bites alongside the drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hotel arranges excursions across the island — spice farm visits, a guided Stone Town walking tour, dhow trips to Prison Island and Pange Sandbank, and a full-day sea excursion through the Menai Bay Conservation Area. Jozani Forest, home to the Zanzibar red colobus monkey, is accessible by road. The Freddie Mercury Museum, in Shangani, is a short walk from the hotel entrance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wetu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43807256084539,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/20414pool1jpg_85cc943e-19d8-4e0f-aacb-0d66d7bc85e9.webp?v=1784336691","url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/products\/zanzibar-serena-hotel","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
