In the heart of Stone Town 236
Hurumzi Hotel rises above standard
accommodation by providing elegant,
traditionally furnished, airy rooms
and a Tower Top Restaurant with a
view of the world. An integral part
of the skyline of Zanzibar, along
with mosque minarets, Hindu temple
towers, and church spires, is the
Tower Top restaurant of 236 Hurumzi.
The second tallest building in Stone
Town Zanzibar, the hotel has been
restored to its former glory when it
was the residence of one of the
richest men in the Swahili Empire.
Furnishings are all original
Zanzibari Antiques of varied origins
and styles create the impressions of
Arabian Nights and sultan princesses
escaping in the dead of the night
for romance.
Emerson Green has 16 guest rooms
which are beautiful and romantic,
each representing Zanzibari
traditions in a distinct way. All
rooms except for the Kipembe room
are equipped with large stone
bathtubs providing unusual bathing
pleasure where a bubble bath and a
bottle of wine are a frequent
request.
Ceiling fans keep our guests cool
along with the constant breeze on
the upper floors. Second and first
floor rooms as well as the South
room are equipped with air
conditioning for added comfort. The
sultan-sized rooms on the first and
second floors have 20 foot ceilings,
carved doors, original stucco décor
and hand painted glass lamps and
window panes. All guest rooms have
large Zanzibari beds complete with
netting..
