Property information

Smiles Stone Town Hotel is in the Heart of Zanzibar city just 100 metres from the Seaport/Harbour and walking distance to all attraction of Stone Town has to offer. The Building is one of the OLD building in Stone Town and is A category 2 of Stone Town World Heritage. The Interior of the Building and the rooms are still maintained as they used to be. The Building has a long History rich in traditional facts of Zanzibar. Originally the Government acquired it in 1926 to accommodate subordinate staff for harbour work schemes. In 1923 the Government turned it to a khojah Merchant dealing in cloves and copra who made substantial changes and repair to the original structure. Now the building has been restored with a modern and mixture of Zanzibar culture.
