Our Opinion of Park Hyatt Zanzibar
Park Hyatt Zanzibar offers a heritage luxury experience in the heart of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The hotel occupies a prime position overlooking the harbour, blending Swahili, Arab, Persian, Indian and European architectural influences into something that feels genuinely of its place. This is not a generic beach resort; it is an urban hotel with real character.
The 67 rooms and 11 suites are spacious, ranging from 45 to 50 square metres, and combine modern design with regional accents. Oceanfront rooms offer sweeping views of the Indian Ocean, while the larger suites have private balconies overlooking the dhow harbours and sea. Bathrooms are generous, with separate bathtubs and rain showers. The oceanfront infinity pool overlooks the local beach, and the spa has three treatment suites including a couple's suite with a private outdoor relaxation area.
Dining is spread across multiple venues within the hotel's Zamani Residence concept, including a Pool Bar, a Library with Veranda, a Living Room, a main Dining Room with terrace, and a residential-style kitchen. Each has its own oceanfront terrace with views of the beach and sea. A short walk away, the standalone Beach House Zanzibar restaurant and bar offers spectacular sunsets and inventive spiced gin and tonic cocktails.
Best for culture-focused travellers who want to be in the heart of Stone Town with five-star service and proper luxury. The heritage setting and architectural character set it apart from any other hotel on the island. Not for those who want a beach resort, but for an elegant, history-rich base in Zanzibar's most fascinating city, it is excellent.
