About this stay
Turaco Spice Tree occupies a restored historic building in Stone Town, blending Swahili heritage with contemporary comfort. Its 58 individually decorated rooms take design cues from the island's spice trade history, with hand carved furniture, warm textures and elegant arches. Guests can cool off in the hotel's indoor pool, then head up to Taarab, the rooftop restaurant, for ocean views over dinner. The hotel is a short walk from the Old Fort, Forodhani Gardens and the maze of alleys that make up the UNESCO listed old town.
