Absolutely Beautiful
If you want to experience something different you must go to this hotel! The Emerson on Hurumzi Hotel is absolutely beautiful. A place like that can’t be designed, only time and a rich history can create something that unique. The staff are very friendly and helpful. You can have a dinner in traditional style at the stunning rooftop.

One of the best Restaurants in Stone Town to try local food. The food was full of positive surprises in taste combinations. The staff are kind and serve your food with a smile on. Would recommend it to anyone who is planning to visit Stone Town.

Recommended Hotel in Stone Town
I was staying in Stone Town, Zanzibar and looking for a quality restaurant when my hotel concierge recommended I tried Emerson Spice. The restaurant is up on the rooftop in an authentic colonial style building, only small, around 20 covers so booking is essential. An idyllic and romantic setting with the Chefs cooking in location. It was a set menu, mainly seafood based with, Anchovies, Tuna, Lobster and King Fish featuring. Pretty normal you would say but, Emerson Spice does not derive its name for nothing.…

Favourite hotel room in the world
The north room at Emerson on Hurumzi is probably my favourite hotel room in the world. It’s like being in a fairy tale. One side of the room consists of ‘French’ windows which open to a balcony with the most amazing ocean view ever. If you open all the windows it gives you the illusion you’re sleeping outside and with being so high up it’s like sleeping in ‘heaven’. Then there’s the massive stone tub which easily fits two people, and it’s partially in the open air so I can highly recommend having a late night bath while gazing at the moon and stars. The staff are absolutely amazing, professional and efficient and above all super friendly, like most people are on the island. In short, Emerson on Hurumzi is probably one of the most authentic Zanzibari experiences you could ask for.

Об этом ресторане я уже говорила, но расскажу еще раз, он того стоит! Лучше места, чтобы перекусить и полюбоваться закатом, в Каменном городе не найти. Бронировать нужно заранее, ужин подают только в 19:00, но приехать можно к 18:00, чтобы не пропустить закат. Ужин стоит 35-40 USD (без напитков).

Fabulous Hotel!
The photos do not do this property justice. It is a fabulous hotel! Incredibly unique, pristinely decorated, in a fantastic location, with very attentive and accommodating service. I, undoubtedly, will stay here on my next visit to Stone Town! It would be a missed opportunity to not stay here, I highly recommend it!
