A characterful restored Stone Town house with richly decorated rooms and a rooftop dining experience close to the Old Fort. It is a stronger fit for travellers who want the old town itself than for those seeking a beach resort.

Before you book

Trade-off to consider

The old quarter has narrow pedestrian lanes, so arrange your luggage drop-off and expect some walking. This is a heritage stay rather than a pool-and-beach hotel.

Who it suits

Couples and architecture-minded visitors who want to explore Stone Town on foot and enjoy dinner above the rooftops.
