The island's capital, Stone Town, with its historical sites (birthplace of singer Freddie Mercury from the rock band "Queen") and Zanzibar Airport can be reached in an hour's drive. In the Zanzibar Serena Hotel you can still know and taste the magic of the island of Zanzibar.
The Zanzibar Serena Hotel, opened in 1997, forms a perfect symbiosis through the restoration and refurbishment of two historical buildings and is located a little bit away from the center of Stone Town.
The palatial, stylish complex is spread over two historic buildings with high standards and is located on the western tip of Stone Town with direct access to the white sandy beach. The historic old town of Stone Town with its narrow streets known for its striking buildings and artistic wooden doors can be reached on foot in a few minutes.
The interior reflects the Swahili culture with Arabic influences and exudes a special flair. The 51 rooms and suites of the Zanzibar Serena Hotel are contemporary and modern with air conditioning, WiFi, flat screen TV and many other amenities.
The focus of the Zanzibar Serena Hotel is the beautiful pool area surrounded by palm trees with a beautiful view over the beach and the sea.
Since the adjacent beach is open to the public, the Zanzibar Serena Hotel offers its guests a private stretch of beach that is approximately 45 minutes from the hotel and is served several times a day. The Mangapwani Beach Restaurant serves fresh fish dishes and international cuisine.
The traditional hotel still exudes the charm of the Zanzibar of yesteryear and is the perfect place to discover the extraordinary spice island of Zanzibar.
