The 236 Hurumzi is located in the centre of Stone Town and an essential part of the skyline of Zanzibar; next to mosque minarets, Hindu temple towers and church spires. The hotel has been restored to its former glory when it was the home of one of the richest men in the Swahili domain. Every room is unique and each floor has its own reception area and kitchen. The hotel is decorated and furnished with genuine antiques giving it a sense of authentic faded grandeur. The amenities offered by the hotel are very basic. The hotel offers a rooftop restaurant with wonderful views over the city and provides traditional entertainment.
