The Seyyida Zanzibar

The Seyyida is an elegant boutique hotel located in the heart of the World Heritage Site of Stone Town in Zanzibar. The hotel is ideally situated next to the Palace Museum, the former residence of the Zanzibar Royal Family. It is only a short walk from the most celebrated Stone Town monuments such as the Forodhani Garden, House of Wonder and the Old Fort.

Our building is unique with arches, old walls and courtyard gardens that take you on a journey back in time. The hotel is a charismatic and gracious model of femininity that mixes the beauty of the old with the modern. With our combination of Colonial and Arabic décor, Seyyida is draped in a tactile and much layered splendour offering a warm and inviting atmosphere.

There is 24-hour reception, a concierge and room service, credit card facilities, laundry facilities, tour operator services, a business centre, a library and transfers. Customised tours and excursions can be arranged by Seyyida.

The spa offers a wide range of rejuvenating and relaxing health and beauty treatments. By using primarily natural materials, the spa has a relaxed tropical-island feel. Our cuisine is a delicious mixture of contemporary yet cultural delights, served on the beautiful rooftop terrace while enjoying the views of Stonetown and the harbour. The Seyyida is Stone Town's premier event location for live music, culture and arts.
