Description of Mashariki Palace Hotel*****

The MASHARIKI PALACE Hotel is a privileged residence for travellers choosing refined hospitality in a historical setting. Wandering through the ancient corridors, your thoughts will drift to the past splendour of a lost era, and the secret memories, like a faint waft of incence, that this old palace jealously preserves.

Relaxing on a balcony overlooking the old town, with mosques, churches and temples below you, you can cast your eyes past the tropical seafront gardens to the sparkling blue Indian Ocean and wonder about the generations of people who sailed here on gentle monsoon breezes.

As the sound of the muezzin call to prayer mingles with the laughter of Zanzibar children at play, and the red sun sets over the sea to bring you the sultry and star-spangled African evening, you will sense the pulse of this living, breathing, vibrant town, and bask in the charm of a mingling past and present.

Accommodation at Mashariki Palace Hotel*****

The 18 non-smoking rooms are all unique; the ground floor looks into the courtyard and has high ceilings. Several rooms have balconies, some have sea views, some have a living area or mezzanine floor, but all are enclosed in this original ancient palace with cool, thick walls, Arabian beds, stucco decoration and carved doors, bringing you the essence of old Zanzibar with a twist of modern chic.

Because the hotel has been converted from the wing of the old palace, no two rooms are alike. Each has its unique and stylish features, either original or added.

The three general room categories that result from the imaginative use of the space are named after the three original areas of the old Stone Town nearby the palace, accessible from the hotel by foot along the narrow winding streets - Forodani: the seafront, Shangani: the residential area, and Darajani: the market and bazaars.

5 Darajani-Superior rooms are between 20-30 sqm meters and have all facilities listed, with typical Zanzibar features and details.

7 Shangani-Prime rooms are more spacious, between 30-45 sqm, and have either a small suite area or a courtyard balcony.

6 Forodhani-Deluxe rooms have further features such as sea views, mezzanine design, terraces or spectacular high ceilings.
