One of Zanzibar’s most luxurious hotels, the Zanzibar Serena combines two of Stone Town’s historic seafront buildings now masterfully restored to their former elegance. Artistically decorated rooms have air-conditioning, en-suite bathrooms and balconies overlooking the sea and port. There are also fully equipped conference rooms and complete business services. Although there is no beach, the Inn has a pool, access to a private beach and offers daily cultural and scenic excursions. There is also easy access to numerous wonderful restaurants. In the nearby Jozani Forest, guests can catch a glimpse of the rare red colobus monkey in one of their last remaining natural habitats.
