Located in the centre of the Oyster Bay area of Dar es Salaam, Oyster Bay Hotel is an ocean facing contemporary African styled hotel with a clean crisp design. Despite its modern appearance it has an intimate private house atmosphere. There is a balanced mixture of old and new in the hotel with many interesting pieces of art. This is echoed outside where metal sculptures are dotted throughout the gardens.

The hotel unashamedly aims at the overnight market, but at the same time aims to make such a stay a most memorable experience, with everything laid on to make your stay as comfortable - indeed pampered - as possible. Of course this isn't cheap, but worth every penny!
It is also possible to book in here on a day rate basis ($200 per person), if you have a long wait for a transfer out, which does not include overnight.
