ZANZIBAR SERENA INN
Idyllically
situated on the sea front of ancient Stone Town, washed
by the aquamarine waters of the Zanzibar channel,
redolent of the scent of cloves and flanked by an exotic
melange of sultan’s palaces, Portuguese forts, ancient
dhow harbours, dark slave markets, and bright bazaars,
the Zanzibar Serena Inn is a haven of tranquillity and
opulence amongst the bustle of Zanzibar. Faithfully
restored and lavishly embellished with a jackdaw
collection of antique clocks, crystal chandeliers,
fretwork screens, carved staircases, Persian rugs and
brass-studded doors, the interior design concept is a
fusion of authenticity and opulence that reflects the
very essence of Zanzibar.
Each room is cool, white and constructed to the
traditional design of a Swahili house, which is
dependant upon the length of the mangrove poles that
make up its ceilings. Adorned with arched niches,
antique plates and brass lamps and featuring
traditionally carved furniture, cool-ceramics, intricate
fretwork, draped beds and louver doors giving onto
wrought-iron balconies overlooking the Persian-bath pool
and azure bay beyond, each room reflects a blend of
essential Zanzibar and world-class eleganc
