236 Hurumzi Hotel is an integral part of the skyline of Zanzibar, along with mosque minarets, Hindu temple towers, and church spires. It offers its own restaurant, the Tower Top restaurant of 236 Hurumzi. The 24 guestrooms are beautiful and romantic, and all rooms except for the Kipembe room are equipped with large stone bathtubs.

236 Hurumzi Hotel uses energy saving bulbs throughout the hotel. Fuel lamps are used for emergency night lighting as a traditional alternative to electronic systems. Rooms are mostly equipped with air-conditioners, but we encourage the use of ceiling fans and water conservation by way of notices to guests to conserve water, which also conserves energy for pumping water.
