The Swahili House has 5 floors that are all built around our beautiful court yard – an ideal spot to enjoy a quiet moment away from busy Stone Town life. The floors are all accessible via traditional Zanzibari Staircases. Our 22 rooms are spread out over 4 floors and can be divided in 3 different room categories:

* Sultan Suites – large, spacious rooms with balcony. Approx. 45m2.
* Suites: medium sized spacious rooms with or without balcony. Approx. 33m2.
* Deluxe Rooms: standard sized double or twin room. Approx. 21m2.

All the rooms all are restored and decorated in traditional Swahili style, but adjusted to Western standards, which for example includes European sized mattresses, air conditioning and a fan. Most rooms feature a spectacular open bathroom including a shower and bath, which are ideally to relax after a busy day exploring Stone Town and its many treasures.





The Swahili House would definitely not be the same without our rooftop terrace. The rooftop terrace houses our bar, restaurant and a very relaxing Jacuzzi overlooking the Indian Ocean. Enjoy a cocktail, lunch or dinner while indulging in stunning views of Stone Town and the Swahili Coastal area!

Our á la carte menu is a combination of Eastern and Western influences, Spices and flavors and includes a wide variety of freshly caught Fish and Seafood, Mediterranean Tapas and is changed on a daily basis. A Continental and full English breakfast buffet will be served from our rooftop kitchen every morning. And last but certainly not least: The Swahili House offers a large variety of wines, international spirits and delicious cocktails to enjoy a romantic sun set with!
