Like the Zanzibar Palace Hotel's other suite (the Dunia Suite) the Sherali Suite stands on the top floor of the hotel, with fantastic views. However, the similarity ends there.

The Sherali Suite is very different from any other room that we know of in Stone Town. It's a vast room that feels wonderfully bright and breezey – because two of its four walls are made from criss-crossed wooden panelling. (These are mosquito proof – unless you open the windows!) Due to this very open nature of the room, there is no air-conditioning here, but it does have two ceiling fans and an additional standing fan.

The suite is wonderfully furnished, with a huge four-poster Zanzibari bed and a Moroccan-style lounge area. The lounge area is incredibly inviting, with a layer of soft foam under a Persian rug and a scattering of cushions, all facing a TV and DVD player. Little touches such as tropical green plants are lovely touches and make the atmosphere all the more natural.

Adjacent to this lounge area, between the two doorways into the en-suite bathroom, is a ceramic, free-standing bath – which is probably the first thing you notice when you enter the room. Inside the bathroom there is also a hot-and-cold shower, a flush toilet and his-and-hers sinks.
