-EMERSON SPICE HOTEL ROOMS-

CAMILLE

All Emerson Spice Hotel rooms are fabulously unique;

The second-floor west-facing room is dedicated to the film version of Dumas’ “La Dame aux Camelias”, starring Greta Garbo and Robert Taylor; two of the most beautiful people ever captured on film.

French doors, high ceilings, spacious but not ostentatiously huge, and the gold satin backdrop capturing the afternoon light evokes the romantic atmosphere and photography of one of the greatest films ever made.

    Best Restaurant Recommendation in Stone Town
    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.

    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.

    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!

    Rooms beautiful and spacious
    Пришлось провести в ресторане этого отеля несколько часов. Приятное место, лобби красивый и аутентичный, в арабском стиле. Номера красивые и просторные, насколько комфортные неизвестно. (Trans: I had to spend a few hours in the restaurant of this hotel. Pleasant place, lobby is beautiful and authentic, in Arabic style. The rooms are beautiful and spacious)

    Place to give you a real feel of Stone town
    Amazing, friendly staff and a cozy place to give you a real feel of Stone town!! The rooms have so much history and passion in them it is amazing! It is a very picturesque place as well. They have a sister hotel Emerson Spice a 2 minute walk (the hotel will escort you over) for live music and drinks if you like.

    Authentic Architectural Symbol in Zanzibar
    Myself and my partner decided to stay here the night before we left the island and it was a very good choice. The building is an authentic architectural symbol in Zanzibar Stonetown. The Room was spacious and full of character and great features, silent and peaceful despite being in the middle of the city.  We also had dinner on the roof top with a set menu, full of flavours and variety of dishes combined with local food and spices.

    We LOVE this hotel
    Our 4th stay at Emerson Spice and certainly not the last! We LOVE this hotel! Being here is not just a normal hotel stay – its an experience. Fantastic decor, and extremely friendly staff. No trip to Zanzibar is complete without a lunch in “The Secret Garden” and dinner on their rooftop.,. It really is a very special property indeed!

    The Best Hotels In Zanzibar Ranked & Reviewed (2020)
    The rooms are filled with antique furniture and rich textures. Small touches like locally produced soaps and towels, antique books and even air con are featured in each room. Passion has been poured into the Emerson Spice and it is obvious. We felt as if we’d cast away in the days of old. Time slowed down and we soaked up the atmosphere of the buzzing Stone Town streets from our private balcony.

    Place I enjoy staying in Stone Town
    We spent 3 nights at this hotel in September and it was everything I could have hoped. The uniqueness of the hotel and how it fitted into the local ‘street-scape’ made it the type of place I really enjoy staying at. Each room has its own amazing theme and as soon as you enter you feel like you are in another world. Centrally located in Stone Town the staff are warm and welcoming.
