Mizingani Seafront Hotel
Mizingani Road, Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania – Adjacent to the Ferry Terminal
Authentic Swahili Elegance


Mizingani Seafront Hotel is a historic landmark located on the very edge of the Indian Ocean in Stone Town. The building itself is steeped in royal history, originally built in the late 19th century by Sultan Said Bargash to serve as a venue for royal weddings. Today, it stands as a beautifully preserved example of Omani-Zanzibari architecture, offering guests a chance to stay in one of the most historically significant buildings on the island.
The hotel’s design features a grand central courtyard, towering archways, and intricately carved balconies that overlook the bustling harbor. Each room is meticulously decorated with traditional Zanzibari antiques, including massive brass-studded doors and hand-painted tiles. The "Royal Honeymoon Suites" are particularly famous, featuring four-poster beds and large copper bathtubs that evoke the opulence of a bygone era.
Conveniently located just steps away from the Zanzibar Ferry Terminal and the House of Wonders, Mizingani Seafront Hotel is the perfect gateway to Stone Town. Guests can enjoy traditional cuisine at the seafront restaurant while watching the dhows glide past or relax by the indoor swimming pool. Whether you are arriving by sea or exploring the winding alleys of the Old City, Mizingani provides a uniquely majestic atmosphere for your stay.
