Park Hyatt Zanzibar (Stone Town): review, rooms, location and alternatives
Park Hyatt Zanzibar is a luxury hotel with 67 rooms, 11 of them suites, in the Shangani district on the Stone Town seafront. It combines an old mansion (Mambo Msiige, dated to the 19th century by one source and the 17th by another) with a newer wing. The smallest room is 45 m², with Omani-style arches, carved wood, large balconies, a separate bathtub and a rain shower. Check-in is 3 pm, check-out noon. The airport is 10 to 20 minutes by car depending on the source. Good to know: it is a town hotel, with no swimming beach in front; to swim you need to go north or east. No reliable rate is published.
Highlights
Stone Town on foot
The House of Wonders and the seafront are close to Shangani: the hotel lets you explore the old town without a car.
The carved doors
Carved wooden doors define the town's identity; the hotel's decor draws on them (arches, crafted wood).
The rooms
Rooms look over Stone Town's rooftops or the sea; suites have a private balcony. Names and sizes vary across booking sites: Zanzibar Suite, Bahari Terrace, Royal Residence, Zamani Presidential.
The neighbourhood
Shangani is a short walk from restaurants, the alleys and the Forodhani Gardens night market: Forodhani.

Tips
- Who it suits: travellers who want a hotel with character in Stone Town, for an arrival or departure night, or to combine town and beach (2 to 3 nights in town, then the north or east). Not built for swimming at the door. For a gentler budget, compare the boutique hotels in Stone Town; to choose your area, see where to stay in Zanzibar. Plan your visit with Stone Town in one day. Information taken from travel sites, not the hotel's own site: have rooms and prices confirmed.
