The recently opened Park Hyatt Zanzibar is setting a new standard for luxury on Zanzibar. The beachfront Park Hyatt Zanzibar in the UNESCO Heritage site of Stone Town reflects the elegance of the Park Hyatt brand while embracing the rich local culture, heritage and historical significance of Zanzibar. In an Interview with MICExchange, Ms. Herrendoerfer, General Manager of the Park Hyatt Zanzibar commented, “The Park Hyatt brand is committed to creating rare, intimate and unforgettable experiences, and we are thrilled to have our doors open and welcome guests from around the world to this very special location.”
Ms. Herrendoerfer, spoke of the reasoning behind the new addition to the Park Hyatt portfolio . “We brought the Park Hyatt brand for the first time to Sub-Saharan Africa, and Stone Town on Zanzibar was chosen for many reasons - we believe there is a very diverse market we can bring to the island - [we] are looking at both the leisure and the corporate MICE sector.”
Indeed, the location and facilities make the hotel a very combinable option when considering the corporate meetings and incentive market combined with the Tanzanian mainland. With modern spacious meeting facilities, the appeal of authentic culture and its magnificent beaches and nearby islands for excursions, the Park Hyatt Zanzibar offers a stunning option.
“Dar es Salaam is a growing market and is becoming a very important hub for the meetings and incentives sector - there is a lot of interest from leisure and the corporate sector for combining corporate sector meetings in Dar es Salaam with extensions to their stay by coming over to Zanzibar.”
Ms. Herrendoerfer went on to say, “We are not restricting ourselves to a certain market as Zanzibar is so globally connected – We already have all countries coming to visit the mainland and the island, whether it’s on leisure or business.”
The hotel offers 67 rooms in a setting that is intimate with an emphasis on luxurious quality. Ms. Herrendoerfer commented, “We are lucky enough to be in a building that has big historical significance here in Stone Town. We worked closely with UNESCO to restore this beautiful building, where our guests experience actually starts as they come into our lobby.” She speaks of how the hotel fits into the rich island culture and authentic surroundings of Stone Town just a short walk to its myriad winding streets and alleyways, jostling traders and locals, where Zanzibar looses none of its authenticity.
