At the time of research, the latest addition to Zanzibar Town's growing roll call of large luxury hotels, the Park Hyatt is in two attached buildings (one the historic Mambo Msiige building, the other recently constructed) on the waterfront. From the vast lobby with its pillars and cooling atmosphere to the gym and treatment centre, the old-new mix continues throughout.
Rooms are large with all the usual facilities you'd expect in an international hotel, but not all have balconies with a sea view so specify when booking if required. Travellers with a taste for irony will appreciate the glass barrier around the infinity pool.
