Delta Hotels by Marriott Dar es Salaam

Delta Hotels by Marriott Dar es Salaam is an upscale waterfront hotel on Slipway Road on the Msasani Peninsula, in the northern coastal district of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It sits beside the Slipway complex, a popular waterfront cluster of shops, restaurants and cafes, and the boat departures for Bongoyo Island are within walking distance, which makes the address attractive to leisure guests as well as business travelers. The city centre and the Kivukoni ferry terminals are a drive of roughly twenty to forty minutes depending on traffic, and the peninsula's restaurants, embassies and expatriate neighbourhoods are close by. The hotel has a modern, branded feel with a calm waterside setting, and it appeals to travelers who prefer the leafy, coastal atmosphere of Msasani over the dense commercial centre. Room types include Deluxe Rooms, Executive Rooms and Suites, and rates run at roughly 330,000-420,000 TZS (about $135-170) per night. Executive Rooms usually add lounge benefits and more workspace. Listed amenities are a swimming pool, a gym, restaurants, wifi and a waterfront location. Dining options include on-site restaurants and bars with international menus and seafood, while the Slipway area provides many additional choices for lunch and dinner within a short walk. The pool and waterfront terrace offer a place to relax after meetings or excursions, and the fitness centre is available to residents. Service is professional and consistent with a global hotel brand, with concierge support for airport transfers, island excursions and city tours. Many guests use the hotel as a launching point for a half-day trip to Bongoyo Island, a small marine reserve reached by boat from the Slipway, and the walkable surroundings are a practical advantage in a city where traffic can be heavy. The trade-off is distance from the downtown ferry terminals and government offices, so travelers with early Zanzibar ferries should allow extra transfer time. The property suits families, couples and business guests who want a modern, waterfront base with shops and restaurants at the door.
