The Keep Suite This suite at the pinnacle of the western Peace of Love wing commands a spectacular view from its private “ castle keep” retreat. The Keep Suite is actually four distinct sections: the bedroom, the verandah parlour, the verandah garden, and the castle keep itself. Guests first enter the verandah parlour. Rich details encompass this room with it’s beautiful city-scape view, a traditional swing, antique writing desk and paintings by one of Zanzibar’s most renowned artists. To the left side of the parlour is a stone bath with antique tile inlays and with the facilities neatly tucked behind a decorative hand painted glass screen and batik trimmed curtain. The bedroom features a gigantic bed in a cocoon of netting and original batik trim fabric all with a fan directly above the bed. Carved lattice windows open to a rooftop city view while air conditioning makes for a comfortable cool haven from the Zanzibar heat.

The view from the stairs and skywalk leading to the “castle keep” are much like standing on the prow of a proud ocean liner above the city. We must emphasize that while most guests adore this room, if you suffer a fear of heights, this room is NOT for you. Suite Pavillion This suite’s decor is inspired by the houseboats of India, with intricate painted wood detailing. Facing west over the Peace of Love Square, this semi-open suite is decorated with painted filigree wood arches opening onto an intimate verandah bordered by a crenulated parapet.

The bathroom is semi-open to the sky yet enclosed from view by hardwood lattice work partitioning which allows guests to look out while they are bathing, but not to be seen. A spiral staircase leads to a small observatory deck where guests can take in a wide panoramic view over the rooftops of Stone Town and the Indian Ocean beyond.
