Today’s Best Zanzibar

Hotel Experience

Park Hyatt Zanzibar

Park Hyatt Zanzibar is one of the island’s most prestigious luxury hotels, occupying a prime waterfront position in the heart of historic Stone Town. Set within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed district, the hotel combines contemporary five-star elegance with the character of Zanzibar’s architectural heritage, incorporating the restored Mambo Msiige building alongside modern spaces overlooking the Indian Ocean. Its location gives guests immediate access to Stone Town’s winding streets, markets, cultural landmarks and seafront while providing a refined retreat from the energy of the city.

The hotel features spacious rooms and suites designed with understated luxury, blending modern comforts with regional influences, carved details and views across either Stone Town or the ocean. Dining is centred around the elegant Zamani Residence, where guests can enjoy locally inspired and international cuisine in a series of sophisticated spaces, including terraces overlooking the water. The oceanfront infinity pool is one of the hotel’s standout features, while the spa offers a calm environment for relaxation after a day exploring the city.

Park Hyatt Zanzibar’s reputation for exceptional hospitality was further reinforced at the World Travel Awards 2025, where it was named Zanzibar’s Leading Hotel 2025. The accolade highlights the property’s combination of service, location, design and cultural authenticity, and confirms its position as a benchmark for luxury hotel accommodation in Zanzibar. For travellers seeking a sophisticated base that delivers both international standards and a genuine connection to the island’s history, Park Hyatt Zanzibar remains one of the strongest choices in the destination.
