About
About Zanzibar Coffee House
A historic coffee-themed townhouse tucked into the lanes of Stone Town.
Zanzibar Coffee House Zanzibar City is a small boutique hotel set inside one of Stone Town’s oldest Arabic buildings, dating back to the late 19th century. The property blends preserved heritage features—thick stone walls, carved doors, and antique furnishings—with a relaxed, intimate hotel experience. Its scale is deliberately small, allowing the building’s history and character to remain the focus rather than modern excess.
The hotel is known for its connection to coffee culture, anchored by a ground-floor café serving locally roasted blends and handcrafted drinks. Guest rooms are individually styled and spread across multiple levels, each reflecting a different coffee theme. Above the city, a rooftop terrace hosts daily breakfast and offers views across Stone Town’s rooftops and minarets.
Located within walking distance of markets, museums, and the waterfront, Zanzibar Coffee House Zanzibar City appeals to travellers seeking atmosphere, originality, and a sense of place rather than conventional hotel formality.
