Four Points by Sheraton Arusha (The Arusha Hotel) with Kantara Safaris

A Historic Landmark in the Heart of Arusha

Four Points by Sheraton Arusha is more than a hotel, it’s part of the story of Arusha itself. First established in 1894, this legendary property has long been a meeting point for travelers moving through East Africa, from the era of the Cape-to-Cairo dream to modern safari journeys that begin and end in northern Tanzania. Known for generations as The Arusha Hotel, it remains one of the town’s most iconic addresses, a place where history and comfort sit naturally side by side.

What makes this hotel special is how it feels like an oasis inside the city. Although it stands in the center of Arusha, it is set within private tropical gardens that soften everything around it. Rolling lawns, mature trees, and lush landscaping create a calm, green atmosphere, and the gardens attract a surprising amount of birdlife, giving the property a peaceful, almost country-like feeling despite being close to town life. It’s an ideal choice for travelers who want comfort and quiet, without losing the convenience of being centrally located.

Inside, the hotel balances classic character with modern standards. The rooms and suites are designed to feel refined and restful, with the kind of service and facilities expected from an international brand, while still keeping the atmosphere of a historic landmark. It’s the type of stay that works beautifully as a pre-safari base, a post-safari recovery night, or a comfortable stopover for business and leisure travelers who want a reliable luxury hotel in Arusha.

Accommodation includes a selection of room categories and suites, with air-conditioned interiors and practical comforts that make the stay smooth in Tanzania’s climate. Guests can expect amenities such as wireless internet, in-room safes, satellite TV, and the simple conveniences that matter when you’re preparing for a safari departure or returning from the bush. With round-the-clock room service available, the hotel also suits travelers arriving late, departing early, or simply wanting the ease of dining and comfort without needing to leave the property.
