Tanzania Experience

Gran Meliá Arusha

Gran Meliá Arusha is one of northern Tanzania’s leading luxury hotels, combining sophisticated contemporary design with a prime location between Mount Meru and the gateway to the country’s famous safari circuit. Set within landscaped grounds and a working coffee plantation, the hotel offers elegant rooms and suites, refined dining, wellness facilities and extensive spaces for meetings and events, making it equally suited to leisure travellers and the corporate market.

Its position in Arusha gives guests convenient access to destinations such as Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tarangire National Park and Mount Kilimanjaro, while the hotel itself provides a polished urban retreat before or after a safari. Spacious accommodation, high service standards and strong business facilities have helped establish Gran Meliá Arusha as one of Tanzania’s most prominent international luxury hotels.

That reputation was reinforced at the World Travel Awards 2025, where Gran Meliá Arusha was named Tanzania’s Leading Business Hotel 2025 and Tanzania’s Leading Hotel 2025, while one of its premium suites also received the title of Tanzania’s Leading Hotel Suite 2025. Together, these honours underline the hotel’s strength across luxury hospitality, business travel and high-end accommodation.

Tanzania at the Table: Ten Restaurants Showing the Country’s Culinary Range

August 27, 2026
Tanzania’s restaurant scene is becoming increasingly difficult to define with a single cuisine.

Tanzania’s hotel landscape tells a very different story from its resort scene. While Zanzibar’s beachfront resorts are often built around seclusion, villas and all-inclusive living, the country’s leading hotels tend to sit closer to the movement of the destination itself.
