We
can plan a dream destination wedding to Zanzibar or a romantic honeymoon.
A
truly romantic hotel in the heart of Stone Town. 236 Hurumzi is ideal for couples
looking for an exotic and unusual wedding vacation escape.
The
property is decorated in Morrocan style. An integral part of the skyline of Zanzibar,
along with mosque minarets, Hindu temple towers, and church spires, is the Tower
Top restaurant of Emerson & Green Hotel. The second tallest building in Stone
Town Zanzibar, the hotel has been restored to its former glory when it was the
residence of one of the richest men in the Swahili Empire.
Atmosphere is of principal import as the furnishings are all original Zanzibari
antiques of varied origins and styles that, together, create the impressions of
Arabian Nights and sultan princesses escaping in the dead of the night for romance.
A wedding can be arranged on the roof top overlooking the ocean and Stone Town.
The ten guestrooms are beautiful and romantic, each representing
Zanzibari traditions in a distinct way. All rooms except for the Kipembe room
are equipped with large stone bathtubs providing unusual bathing pleasure where
a bubble bath and a bottle of wine are a frequent request. Ceiling fans keep our
guests cool along with the constant breeze on the upper floors. Second and first
floor rooms as well as the South room are equipped with air conditioning for added
comfort. The sultan-sized rooms on the first and second floors have 20 foot ceilings,
carved doors, original stucco décor and hand painted glass lamps and window panes.
All guest rooms have large Zanzibari beds complete with netting.
The Tower
Top Restaurant, a common stop for newlyweds and marriage proposers alike, is undoubtedly
one of the most romantic restaurants in the world. Featuring a panoramic view
of Stone Town and a spectacular view of the Indian Ocean, it is the perfect to
watch the sun set. Eighty feet above the Stone Town and sitting on Persian carpets,
more than one guest has told us that dinner here feels like a ride on a magic
carpet. The dining room is open on all sides and guests sit Arabian-style on pillows
and carpets, their shoes having been left at the door, while their dinner is served
in five or more courses and accompanied by the sites and sounds of exotic Zanzibar.
