A landmark seafront hotel overlooking Stone Town’s most recognisable square.
Tembo House Hotel & Apartments is one of Stone Town’s best-known historic properties, set directly along the Indian Ocean beside Forodhani Gardens. The hotel occupies a large traditional building whose balconies, verandas, and carved architectural details reflect the city’s Swahili and colonial heritage. Its position places guests at the heart of Stone Town’s daily rhythm, with ocean views on one side and historic streets unfolding just beyond the entrance.
Accommodation spans classic hotel rooms and apartment-style units, offering flexibility for both short stays and longer visits. Many rooms face the sea, while others overlook inner courtyards or the old town itself. An outdoor swimming pool sits above the shoreline, and on-site dining allows guests to take in the waterfront setting without leaving the property.
Tembo House Hotel & Apartments appeals to travellers who want a recognisable Stone Town address, historic character, and immediate access to the city’s cultural landmarks.
