About The Neela Boutique Hotel Stone Town
Right in the centre of Stone Town, The Neela is a boutique hotel that makes a strong case for staying in. Interior designer Nelly Levin drew on local materials and Zanzibari details to create clean, comfortable spaces that feel rooted without being heavy-handed. There are 14 rooms, all smartly finished with bronze fixtures and crisp linens. The restaurant is remarkable, and rooftop cocktails by candlelight offer a welcome contrast to the city’s daytime energy. It is the kind of place where the smallest details do the heavy lifting.
