Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar.

“No visit to Zanzibar is complete without acknowledging the island's most famous son. Farrokh Bulsara was born in Stone Town in 1946 — he became Freddie Mercury, and the place knows it. You'll see his face on menus, on walls, in bars. Our beach bar had a little Freddie card propped up by the bottles. Felt right. Some of the best two nights of any trip I can remember. Lock it down and just go.”
