   Stanley was the hotel to stay or be seen at until the 1970s. In its heydays, the Stanley played host to famous royalty, politicians and stars. Situated in the city centre, it was also where the travellers, including Earnest Hemingway, gathered for a drink at the legendary Thorn Tree Café before or after a long safari. A message board on the acacia xanthophildea tree was used by travellers to make contact with fellow travellers. Today, the Stanley has lost much of its importance as a meeting place but a drink at the Thorn Tree Café is still a pleasant experience. Much of the hotel has been refurbished to a high standard and still retains the original Victorian charm. A revolving door leads to a lobby with marble floors, reproduction antique furniture and subdued lighting, recalling the graceful era of grand living. Bedrooms with private bathrooms, though small, are very comfortable while the restaurants at the Stanley serve excellent international cuisine. Several upscale galleries and artifact shops are located next to the hotel. The hotel has a pool and health club where guests can also relax. |
