A luxury boutique hotel in Stone Town, The Seyyida Hotel And Spa features 17 rooms with traditional Swahili and Arabic architecture and an on-site spa offering personalized treatments. It is located a 4-minute walk from Sultan's Palace and close to the Peace Memorial Museum and Zanzibar Ferry Terminal. Each room includes air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and a private bathroom with a bath; some rooms offer sea views or private balconies. The rooftop restaurant serves contemporary cuisine with views over the ocean, and a complimentary full breakfast is available each morning at The Seyyida Hotel And Spa.
