Inside the Park Hyatt Zanzibar
Park Hyatt Zanzibar is situated on the beachfront in Stone Town, the historical center of the city and a designated UNESCO Heritage site. As the cultural heart of Zanzibar, little has changed in Stone Town over the last 200 years. The town’s unique blend of Arabic and African cultural influences originate from the 19th century when Zanzibar Island served as a center for the trade of spices. During this period, Zanzibar, also known as the “Spice Island,” was the most important trading hub along the east coast of Africa. Today, the streets of Stone Town are filled with rich aromas of spices, perfumes and local handcrafts.
Park Hyatt Zanzibar is housed in two buildings, one of them Mambo Msiige, a UNESCO heritage building steeped in history, grace and mystique with roots dating back to the 17th century. Mambo Msiige is a typical Zanzibari mansion and an architectural gem, featuring intricate carvings and centered around a peaceful courtyard. The name alone meaning “not to be copied or imitated,” embraces true uniqueness. The new and purposefully built ZamaniResidence of the hotel connects to Mambo Msiige, blending old history and contemporary charm, while embracing Swahili culture with a blend of Arab, Persian, Indian and European influences.
Park Hyatt Zanzibar reflects the intimate and understated elegance of the Park Hyatt brand while embracing the rich culture, heritage and historical significance of Zanzibar’s unique Stone Town.
With magnificent views of a dhow-dotted harbor and a spectacular beachfront at its doorstep, the luxurious Park Hyatt Zanzibar is a beautiful retreat for those wanting to explore the World Heritage site of Stone Town.
Unwind in one of 67 spacious and spectacularly appointed suites, including some magnificent ocean views from a private balcony, a lovely ensuite bathroom with a separate bath and a decadent rain shower, air conditioning and satellite television. Tuck into mouth-watering fare at the hotel’s main dining room, which features an ocean-front terrace and a residential-style kitchen. After a successful day of sightseeing you can retreat to the Park Hyatt’s popular pool bar for a refreshing beverage, soak your weary limbs in the sparkling infinity pool.
From here you can experience the idyllic East African island of Zanzibar and embrace its rich culture, heritage, and historical significance. The hotel provides the ultimate retreat amongst Stone Town’s maze of winding alleys, bustling markets, mosques, and famed Zanzibari doors made with magnificent ornate wooden carvings. The town’s key attractions are easily accessible by foot including Forodhani Gardens, the Old Fort, the Old Dispensary, the Peace Memorial Museum, the Palace Museum, and the House of Wonders. On a beach along the Indian Ocean, this hotel, in a 17th-century mansion, is a 7 minutes’ walk from the Sultan's Palace, 4 minutes on foot from the Forodhani Gardens and 9 km from the Abeid Amani Karume International Airport.
