Zanzibar Serena Hotel, established in 1997, is a historical treasure born from the meticulous restoration of two iconic buildings: the 19th-century Extelcoms building and the 18th-century “Chinese doctor’s residence.” These structures were thoughtfully preserved, reflecting the 19th-century cultural influences of the Sultans of Zanzibar.
