A charming luxury hotel
situated in the heart of the historic Stone Town of Zanzibar.
The Dhow, being the heart beat of the East African culture, has been
carrying people, goods and treasures to and from Zanzibar for
hundreds of years.
Today, the Dhow Palace serves as a meeting point for people and
cultures from all over the world amidst a decor and artefacts from a
time gone by.
Dhow
Palace was originally the home of a rich merchant, Sheikh bin
Mujbia. Bin Mujbia and his descendants kept the building for more
than three centuries before it was sold.
The Dhow Palace building, being right in the heart of the stone
town, has bore witness to many events taking place in Zanzibar,
before the Dhow building itself became the centre of attention back
in 1993 when it was transformed from a family mansion to this
elegant hotel. In 2005 it again sought the attention when the new
wing was added.
The Dhow Palace can easily be described as a living museum dedicated
to furniture, art and oriental ornaments which have found their way
to the shores of Zanzibar over the past centuries.
The open-air interior courtyard, where the snack bar and the pool
side restaurant are located, is the perfect spot to savour local and
international cuisine.
Watch the beautiful sunsets in peace and harmony on our roof top
terrace, where should you wish – an intimate supper in total privacy
can be arranged.
