The hotel lounge has an impressive selection of antique ornaments and furniture, and adds to the relaxed ambience that is a Dhow Palace trademark. All rooms have large balconies overlooking an attractive and cool central courtyard or the swimming pool.
Dhow Palace was originally the home of a rich merchant, Sheikh bin Mujbia. Bin Mujbia and his descendants kept the building for more than three centuries before it was sold. The Dhow Palace building, being right in the heart of the stone town, has bore witness to many events taking place in Zanzibar, before the Dhow building itself became the centre of attention back in 1993 when it was transformed from a family mansion to this elegant hotel. In 2005 it again sought the attention when the new wing was added. The Dhow Palace can easily be described as a living museum dedicated to furniture, art and oriental ornaments which have found their way to the shores of Zanzibar over the past centuries. All the rooms at The Dhow Palace are self contained with Flat Screen and Cable Television, Swimming Pool in the courtyard area, Free Internet and Wi-Fi, Safe Deposit, Water Heater, Fridge, Hair Dryer and Telephone.
