Tembo House Hotel is a unique and fascinating Hotel located at the heart of Zanzibars Stone Town, surrounded by historical buildings and the sea front looking out to the islands and the harbour.
The 19th Century restored Tembo House Hotel is the sister Hotel of Dhow Palace, (located just 300 metres up the road) and is a landmark amongst other hotels in Zanzibar, having served many purposes over the years from being the American Consulate in 1834, to becoming the premises of Cowasjee Dinshaw and Partners in 1884 which was the famous Trading Companies in the western Indian Ocean.
Today Tembo House Hotel is locally owned and managed, being one of the first to start up after Zanzibar open its doors to tourism in the late 1980's, giving them a perfect location for their guests to explore the city of Stone Town. The original building really was a magnificent structure and many of the original features remain today, such as an array of antique furniture, fittings and ornaments from all over the world and the most notable amongst all of them, is the superb stained glass salon overlooking over the bay that is one of the architectural highlights of Stone Town.
