ZANZIBAR SERENA INN
THE LODGE
Faithfully restored and lavishly embellished with a collection of antique clocks, crystal chandeliers, fretwork screens, carved staircases, Persian rugs and brass-studded doors, the interior design concept is a fusion of authenticity and opulence that reflects the very essence of Zanzibar.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Each room is cool, white, and constructed to the traditional design of a Swahili house, which is dependant upon the length of the mangrove poles that make up its ceilings. Adorned with arched niches, antique plates and brass lamps and featuring traditionally carved furniture, cool ceramics, intricate fretwork, draped beds and louvered doors giving onto wrought-iron balconies that over look the Persian-bath pool and azure bay beyond. Each room reflects a blend of essential Zanzibar and world-class elegance.
CUISINE
Constructed so that the waves lap to within inches of its open windows, the Baharia Restaurant features lazily whirring fans, a jewel-glass atrium, mangrove pole celing, fretwork screens, Omani carvings, Persian rugs and bright Swahili artifacts.
