The
Zanzibar Serena Inn is idyllically situated on the sea front of ancient Stone
Town, washed by the aquamarine waters of the Zanzibar channel, redolent of the
scent of cloves and flanked by an exotic melange of sultan’s palaces, Portuguese
forts, ancient dhow harbours, dark slave markets, and bright bazaars. Its a haven
of tranquillity and opulence amongst the bustle of Zanzibar.
Faithfully restored
and lavishly embellished with a collection of antique clocks,crystal
chandeliers, fretwork screens, carved staircases,
Persian rugs and brass-studded
doors, Zanzibar Serena Inn's interior design concept is a fusion of authenticity
and opulence that reflects the very essence of Zanzibar.

Each
room at this Serena hotel is cool, white and constructed to the traditional design
of a Swahili house, which is dependant upon the length of the mangrove poles that
make
up its ceilings.
Adorned with arched niches, antique plates
and
brass lamps and featuring traditionally carved furniture, cool-ceramics, intricate
fretwork, draped beds and louver doors giving onto wrought-iron
balconies
overlooking the Persian-bath pool and azure bay beyond,
each room in Zanzibar
Serena Inn reflects a blend of essential Zanzibar and
world-class elegance.
Interiors echo Zanzibar's rich Arabian heritage. For a thousand years, Zanzibar was one of the world's cross roads of trade, with Persians, Arabs and Europeans attracted to
its exotic exports. Stone Town's architecture is testimony to that cultural heritage. |
