Fodor's Expert Review Upendo House
213/4 Hurumzi St., Zanzibar, Zanzibar Urban/West, Tanzania Fodor's Choice
The city hotel to its sister beach hotel in Mchumvi, Upendo House has fast become the cool kid on the winding Stone Town alleyways. Each of the 8 rooms has been individually styled with an eclectic mix of quirky tropical patterns, rich, modern linens, and some have private terraces. Add on an air-conditioner, mini bar, and shower (some with bathtubs) and all the amenities that tick the box of a luxury boutique hotel are provided. The restaurant on the 4th floor is not to be missed---scrumptious plates of Indian, Mediterranean, and Swahili mixes with modern twists; there's even a unique and ample kids menu. Take advantage of the free airport taxi which takes away any stress and strain on your arrival.
