Home to humans for a millennia, Tanzania remains a wild area covered in vast grasslands and forests rich in wildlife. Known for sites like Serengeti National Park, Gombe Stream and Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania sees a multitude of visitors each year who are drawn to the natural and cultural attractions of the east African nation. Hotels stand in virtually every part of Tanzania, particularly near its many celebrated wildlife areas, offering rooms, dining and safaris into the bushland.
Situated adjacent to Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Zanzibar Palace Hotel stands upon the island of Zanzibar, a semi-autonomous island region approximately 20 miles off the coast of Tanzania. An ancient port city, Stone Town is the best known historic attraction on the island because of its narrow, winding streets, mosques and markets. Featuring a restaurant, tourist information center and laundry service, the hotel offers a choice of nine individually decorated rooms spread over three floors. Decorated with antiques reflecting Zanzibar's past as a major trading port, rooms include silk rugs, ornate grillwork and large beds draped in mosquito netting, as well as standard amenities like cable television, bathrobes and a daily breakfast.
