DoubleTree by Hilton Zanzibar Stone Town โ International Standards in the Historic Quarter
DoubleTree by Hilton Zanzibar Stone Town is the international hotel brand option in Stone Town's historic quarter โ offering the reliability, loyalty programme (Hilton Honors) and consistent service standards that Hilton guests recognise globally. The hotel is near Old Fort (Ngome Kongwe) and Christ Church Cathedral, in the heart of Stone Town's heritage district. The property features central air conditioning (unusual in Stone Town's older buildings), a lift/elevator and standard Hilton room amenities.
Reviews note the hotel as a "great property, as to be expected as part of the Marriott Bonvoy family" โ though DoubleTree is part of Hilton, not Marriott. The observation captures the key point: this is a professionally managed international chain hotel delivering what returning guests to the Hilton brand expect, in a Stone Town location. The warm chocolate chip cookie on check-in โ the DoubleTree signature welcome โ is a small but noted detail.
Accommodation
Standard rooms with central air conditioning, flat-screen TVs with major news channels, WiFi and en-suite bathrooms. Restaurant with buffet breakfast, in-room dining, bar and standard Hilton amenities. Hilton Honors points earned. Elevator access.

DoubleTree by Hilton Zanzibar Stone Town is the right choice for Hilton loyalists wanting points accumulation in Stone Town, and for business travellers who need the predictability of an international chain hotel. It offers fewer distinctive moments than Park Hyatt or Serena but delivers reliable, professional international hotel service in a well-located Stone Town building.โ The SafariBando team
