Stone Town, Zanzibar: Exotic and mystical, evocative of the centuries of sultans, traders, adventurers and explorers who came to these magical isles of Zanzibar off the Swahili East African coast, leaving a cultural and architectural fusion which echoes its proud history of Persian, Arabian, Indian, Colonial and African influences. Stone Town is now home to the NEW MASHARIKI PALACE HOTEL. This is the Eastern Palace on the islands, once the seat of the Omani empire spanning a thousand miles, CRATED BY THE FIRST SULTAN IN ZANZIBAR almost 200 years ago. The domicile of the Sultan's religious councillor is now restored beyond its former magnificence. IT IS NOT A STANDARD HOTEL. THE MASHARIKI PALACE HOTEL is a privileged RESIDENCE for travellers choosing refined hospitality in a historical setting.
Accomodation
Our hospitality is based on good taste and warmth, comfort and style. The 18 no smoking rooms are all unique; the ground floor looks into the courtyard and has high ceilings, several 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.
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.
