The Arusha Hotel

The Arusha Hotel has been Arusha’s centrepiece since 1894 and is Arusha's Leading Business Hotel. Home to those travelling between the Cape and Cairo and further afield in these modern times, its lengthy and vivid history stands as true today as it did over a hundred years ago.

A real focal point since the last century, The Arusha Hotel provides elegant, refined accommodation that cleverly balances all that is modern and classic.

Inside the highest-quality rooms, services and cuisine all come in surroundings that reflect its history, sophistication and charm. Outside the original lush and extensive tropical gardens give the hotel a calm relaxing feel, an oasis in the centre of Arusha town.

After an extensive renovation and refurbishment program, The Arusha Hotel (formerly New Arusha Hotel) is now the leading, most renowned and historical hotel in Arusha town, making it the natural choice for visitors to Arusha, be it for business or adventure.
