Room with rooftop terrace in a hotel with rooftop bar-restaurant, one of the most beautiful in Stone Town.
This boutique hotel is a historic gem, housed in the 1870 Arab building belonging to the merchant Tharia Topan. Each of the nine rooms is an enchantment of cushions, fabrics, precious furniture and luxurious details. The Thousand and One Nights in the time of the sultans. Elevated rooms, such as the Sultan Seyyid Suite and the Tour Suite with its rooftop terrace, offer views over the rooftop forest. High steps through a green inner courtyard lead to the rooftop bar-restaurant, where dinner is held every evening to the sound of taarab music.

This is a review of the dinner, as we stayed at a different lodge. Dinner is a served on the gorgeous rooftop patio. It is a fixed price meal - fun cocktails, delicious assortment of curries served family style, finished with exquisite trio sample of desserts served individually. Local band and singer entertained throughout the meal. Service was so friendly. All inspired by New York transplant, Emerson Skeens, who fell in love with Zanzibar in 1989, and stayed and invested in preserving some of the buildings.

Superb accommodation in Zanzibar. In the heart of Stone Town is a beautifully restored hotel that once was the home of one of the richest men in the Swahili Empire – Mr Tharia Topan, who served as the principal financial advisor to Sultan Bargash. Today it is still one of the most popular hotels in Zanzibar.

Did not overnight this is a review of the rooftop dinner. Absolutely loved the experience. The service was fantastic, the location was wonderful. From entering the lobby to a warm welcome, to being able to wander up 4 flights of hand built stairs and explore a bit. The menu was excellent, and the final price after the copious wine beer and cocktails seemed more than fair. Can't recommend this experience more!
