The Zanzibar, a boutique hotel set on the seafront of the improving Victorian resort town of Hastings, is as spicy as its name suggests. Accommodation is in eight suites: Antarctica, Japan, India, Egypt, Bali, South America, Africa and Morocco. Each is subtly themed and sumptuously dressed, drawing on the textures and culture of the region. Bali opens onto the garden at the rear of the hotel and has a massage shower/steam cabin. We stayed in South America , overlooking the seafront, which has a meeting area plus deep stone Jacuzzi spa bath. We found it hard to leave our super King-size hand carved Brazilian bed and its crisp Egyptian sheets. But leave you must in order to enjoy one of the sumptuous breakfasts. Your inspector had the best kippers, served with melted butter and a poached egg, that he had had all summer. All ingredients are sourced locally and are organic or farm reared. The hotel will arrange parking, taxis, massage in your room and you have access to the hotel's extensive DVD library. No evening meal as yet, but they can book you a table at the excellent St Clements Restaurant, a Michelin-listed establishment a ten-minute walk away.
