Emerson Spice Hotel: Stone Town, Zanzibar
The last Swahili ruler of Zanzibar once owned a mansion in Stone Town, a unique coastal city influenced by hundreds of years of Swahili, Indian, Arab, and European cultures. From the structural remains of the mansion (plus a merchant’s house) came a boutique hotel hosting ornate rooms that each vary in style.
