The blue Sapphire is a traditional international style hotel without a great degree of individuality but the reason that we feature this option is the close proximity to the airport, just three kilometres away. Most accommodation options in Dar es Salaam are in the city which can be as much as an hour from the airport taking into consideration the terrible traffic that the city is renowned for. With this in mind the Blue Sapphire offers the easiest overnight stay after or before flights. With this being a larger hotel the facilities are good with an on site restaurant, spa, fitness centre with sauna and steam room, free Wifi, bar and lounge and room service.

The rooms are comfortable and come equipped with air-conditioning, free WiFi, tea and coffee making facilities, desk, safe, blackout curtains and telephone. The en-suite bathrooms come with either a shower or bath.
