The Swahili House Zanzibar City
About The Swahili House Zanzibar City
A restored merchant house offering a traditional stay in the heart of Stone Town.
The Swahili House Zanzibar City is a boutique heritage hotel set within a restored 19th-century merchant residence in Stone Town. The building reflects Zanzibar’s layered history, with carved wooden details, stone floors, and a vertical layout typical of historic homes in the old city. Interiors preserve much of the original character, creating an atmosphere shaped more by place than polish.
Guest rooms are spread across multiple levels around an internal courtyard, offering privacy and quiet despite the lively streets outside. Air-conditioning and ceiling fans provide climate comfort, while daily housekeeping supports a consistently maintained environment. Above the city, a rooftop terrace serves as the hotel’s social centre, hosting a restaurant and bar with views across Stone Town’s rooftops toward the sea. A small swimming pool offers a place to cool off after time spent exploring on foot.
The Swahili House Zanzibar City is well suited to travellers seeking an immersive Stone Town experience, where location, history, and atmosphere are central to the stay.
