15 November, 2019

Last year RIU acquired the Riu Palace Zanzibar hotel, a 5-star hotel, which is now reopening following a complete refurbishment and featuring 100 more rooms! The hotel now boasts a total of 200 rooms which will welcome guests who come and visit this exotic destination together with RIU. It is located in the Northern part of Unguja and was the first hotel of the chain in Zanzibar, which now also operates the La Gemma dell’Est hotel which will be refurbished in the next few months.

We can now assert that this establishment is a RIU hotel from top to bottom, given that it is now fully in line with the chain’s high standards following refurbishment works. The hotel and all its rooms clearly mirror the destination, helping you to breathe in the essence of Zanzibar from the minute you step into its elegant lobby.

Apart from the new rooms, the hotel also has new buildings which house the common indoor areas, which also pay tribute to African architecture. And what about the outside of the hotel? An enormous and beautiful garden with three swimming pools, which all perfectly blend in with the destination and the backdrop of the sea.
