Long Stay Rentals Stone Town

Long stays at Emerson Zanzibar 

Since the 90s, Emerson Zanzibar has been a place where travellers tend to spend a bit more time to immerse themselves in Swahili culture and to fully experience all that Stone Town has to offer. With personal attention from the hosts and pleasant conversations with the hotel team, the tenants of our long-stay studio’s and apartments settle in quickly.

Experience Stone Town within one of the apartments in this authentic building, centrally located in Stone Town.’’

Emerson Spice and Emerson on Hurumzi offer discounted rates for guests who spend a week or longer in the hotel rooms. Furnished with antiques, combined with modern comforts, the suites in Emerson on Hurumzi offer a great base for spending a longer time in Stone Town. With a desk to work, write poetry or study a language, as well as an outside veranda or rooftop to spend time looking out over the sea and the surrounding Stone Town. A minifridge, as well as coffee- and tea-making facilities are provided in the room. 

In this past period, we have welcomed numerous guests who spend longer periods of time in Stone Town; who work online, who are retired, who are writing a book, who are travelling for longer periods of time for many different reasons. Whereas it is possible to easily have simple local meals at reasonable rates in Stone Town, some of our guests prefer to have the opportunity to prepare small meals and make their own breakfasts. This is why we offer cooking facilities in our long stay studio’s and apartments. The private rooftop Tea House, the sitting area on the veranda and the kitchen make the studio apartments suitable for longer stays in Stone Town. The shared spaces are an addition to the studios that both have a private en-suite bathroom and are furnished with antique furniture.

Absolutely Beautiful
If you want to experience something different you must go to this hotel! The Emerson on Hurumzi Hotel is absolutely beautiful. A place like that can’t be designed, only time and a rich history can create something that unique. The staff are very friendly and helpful. You can have a dinner in traditional style at the stunning rooftop.

Recommended Hotel in Stone Town
I was staying in Stone Town, Zanzibar and looking for a quality restaurant when my hotel concierge recommended I tried Emerson Spice. The restaurant is up on the rooftop in an authentic colonial style building, only small, around 20 covers so booking is essential. An idyllic and romantic setting with the Chefs cooking in location. It was a set menu, mainly seafood based with, Anchovies, Tuna, Lobster and King Fish featuring. Pretty normal you would say but, Emerson Spice does not derive its name for nothing.…

Favourite hotel room in the world
The north room at Emerson on Hurumzi is probably my favourite hotel room in the world. It’s like being in a fairy tale. One side of the room consists of ‘French’ windows which open to a balcony with the most amazing ocean view ever. If you open all the windows it gives you the illusion you’re sleeping outside and with being so high up it’s like sleeping in ‘heaven’. Then there’s the massive stone tub which easily fits two people, and it’s partially in the open air so I can highly recommend having a late night bath while gazing at the moon and stars. The staff are absolutely amazing, professional and efficient and above all super friendly, like most people are on the island. In short, Emerson on Hurumzi is probably one of the most authentic Zanzibari experiences you could ask for.

The photos do not do this property justice. It is a fabulous hotel! Incredibly unique, pristinely decorated, in a fantastic location, with very attentive and accommodating service.
