This suite at the pinnacle of the western Peace of Love wing commands a spectacular view from it’s private “ castle keep” retreat. The Keep Suite is actually four distinct sections: the bedroom, the verandah parlor, the verandah garden, and the castle keep itself. Guests first enter the verandah parlor. Rich details encompass this room with it’s beautiful city-scape view, a traditional swing, antique writing desk and paintings by one of Zanzibar’s most renowned artists. To the left side of the parlor is a stone bath with antique tile inlays and with the facilities neatly tucked behind a decorative hand painted glass screen and batik trimmed curtain. The bedroom features a gigantic bed in a cocoon of netting and original batik trim fabric all with a fan directly above the bed. Carved lattice windows open to a rooftop city view while air conditioning makes for a comfortable cool haven from the Zanzibar heat. From the verandah garden up a teakwood staircase lies the “castle keep” itself, boasting an antique swing seat and a large couch for sunset cocktails or breakfast. The view from the stairs and skywalk leading to the “castle keep” are much like standing on the prow of a proud ocean liner above the city. We must emphasize that while most guests adore this room, if you suffer a fear of heights, this room is NOT for you.
