Set in one of Tanzania’s largest coffee plantations, on the outskirts of Arusha, lies Arusha Coffee Lodge. With Mount Meru in the background, beautifully manicured gardens, a swimming pool and spa and plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy, this five-star hotel offers a great opportunity to relax before and after international flights. The main plantation building houses an a la carte restaurant, a café bistro and lovely lounge with open fires to warm the cool evening air and the lovely staff are always on hand to help.

The thirty plantation houses are furnished to a high standard with all of the amenities that you would expect from a five-star hotel and beautiful en-suite bathrooms. There are a couple of things to bear in mind, while noise is almost non-existing from the rooms and gardens the hotel is located quite near to a main road and the swimming pool and restaurant are open to day visitors and the public. That aside, this is a well-established, good value for money, five-star option in Arusha and never fails to deliver, we would highly recommend this to those that want a little luxury.
