For dining, the hotel's own restaurant serves Tanzanian and international dishes, and the rooftop terrace bar is a great spot for drinks with views of Mount Meru. Just outside, you'll find several nearby options: Roof Canteen, Pizza Stop Arusha, and Kitamu Coffee are all about 50 meters away, with Majushi Restaurant at 100 meters and Orchids Coffee at 150 meters. Safari Coffee Shop is a short 200-meter walk, and Kulan Restaurant, known for fusion cuisine, is also close by. Sanna Cafe on Goliondoi Road offers authentic Tanzanian coffee and snacks. These spots give you plenty of choices right around the hotel.
The hotel sits in central Arusha, just a 3-minute walk from the Arusha Clock Tower, with the Old German Boma and Arusha National Natural History Museum about 300 meters away. The area is a mix of offices, banks, and shops, plus a cluster of cafes and restaurants like Roof Canteen, Pizza Stop Arusha, Kitamu Coffee, Majushi Restaurant, Orchids Coffee, and Safari Coffee Shop within 200 meters. The Cultural Heritage Centre is 4.1 km out, and Arusha National Park is 20.6 km away, so those need a drive. The rooftop offers views of Mount Meru and the city skyline, giving a sense of the surrounding landscape. It is a convenient, walkable base for exploring the town center and its sights.
To reach Sanna Boutique Hotel from Arusha Airport, about 7 km away, you can take a taxi or use the hotel's airport shuttle service. From Kilimanjaro International Airport, roughly 44 km away, a pre-booked transfer or taxi is the most direct option. The hotel is located on the 10th floor of the Ngorongoro building on Goliondoi Road, just a short walk from the Arusha Clock Tower. If arriving by bus, the Loliondo to Engaresero bus stop is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel.
In the evening, you can enjoy the hotel's own rooftop terrace and bar, which offers 360-degree views of Arusha and Mount Meru, a great spot for a sundowner. The on-site restaurant serves dinner, and there is also a casino on the ground floor for entertainment. Nearby, within a short walk, you'll find the Arusha Clock Tower (3 min walk) and the Old German Boma (about 5 min walk), which are pleasant to see in the evening. For a drink or bite, places like Kitamu Coffee (150 m) and Safari Coffee Shop (200 m) are close by. You can also take a stroll to the Arusha International Conference Centre, just 350 m away.
Sanna Boutique Hotel is a great base for exploring Arusha. The Arusha Clock Tower is just a 3-minute walk away, and the Cultural Heritage Centre is 4.1 km from the hotel. For day trips, Arusha National Park is 20.6 km away and Meserani Snake Park is 23.8 km, so you will need a car or a tour for those. The hotel is also a pickup point for safari operators heading to the northern circuit parks. From here, you can easily join tours like the Ngorongoro Crater Day Trip or a city tour. The central location puts you close to the Old German Boma and the Arusha International Conference Centre, both within a short walk.
