Coral Beach Hotel

Coral Beach Hotel is an upscale seafront hotel at Plot 956/1412 on Coral Lane in Masaki, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Masaki is a leafy, upmarket district on the Msasani Peninsula known for its restaurants, embassies and expatriate residences, and the hotel sits on a quiet lane within a short drive of Masaki's dining and nightlife. The hotel's standout feature is an ocean-facing pool deck, giving guests a seaside setting without leaving the city. The property has a calm, residential-style character rather than a large resort feel. Room types include Standard Rooms, Deluxe Sea View Rooms and Suites, with rates of roughly 234,000-338,000 TZS ($90-130) per night. Amenities include a pool, a restaurant, a bar, free wifi, meeting rooms and parking. The restaurant covers breakfast and evening meals, and the bar and pool deck are the usual gathering points for guests in the afternoon. Meeting rooms make the hotel suitable for small corporate groups, while the quiet lane and sea views appeal to leisure travellers and couples. Service is relaxed and personal compared with larger international chains. Masaki's restaurants, cafes and the Slipway are reachable by a short taxi ride, and beaches such as Coco Beach are not far away, though the main swimming experience is usually at the hotel pool. Visitors should note that Dar es Salaam city beaches are not ideal for swimming, so the pool deck matters. Julius Nyerere International Airport is on the other side of the city, so allow extra time for traffic. For travellers seeking a quiet, sea-facing upscale hotel in Masaki, Coral Beach Hotel is a settled and convenient option.
