New Africa Hotel is a good place for special occasions.
The New Africa Hotel, situated in the centre of Dar es Salaam, overlooking the harbour, is the perfect hotel for the International Traveler. All government, commercial and financial institutions are within walking distance of the hotel. The ferry to Zanzibar is based almost at the doorstep. One hundred and nineteen rooms and seven suites, two restaurants, two cocktail bars, business center, room service, laundry and dry-cleaning facility.
Didnt stay here, but had heard about it and passed by it a few times...
Very centrally located. Right in the middle of Dar's busiest commercial region, and overlooking the harbour/ ocean. With all the banks and tall buildings. Most government, commercial and financial institutions are within easy walking distance of the hotel.
The rooms have an option for views- pool facing or harbour/ ocean facing, and i think the room rates are also kind of determided according to that.
The hotel operates a courtsey airport shuttle, and the ferry to Zanzibar also leaves from very close to the hotel.
