'''Hotel Zanzibar''' was a hotel operated by civilians in [[Old Mombasa]] on [[Earth]]. Only the first floor of the facility is ever observed, but it appears to be a run down facility. This, however, could be due to the battle raging around it at the time.


In [[2552]], during the [[Battle of Earth]], the Hotel Zanzibar was abandoned, along with the rest of the city. When the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} dispatched [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelicans]] full of relief troops for the massive battle going on inside the city, one of those Pelicans was shot down by a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]] near the hotel. The [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] who survived the crash set up a command post inside the hotel lobby. They were surrounded and almost overwhelmed by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ground forces when [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]] arrived and aided the surviving Marines, eventually leading them into [[New Mombasa]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Outskirts]]''</ref>'<ref>''[[Another Day at the Beach]]''</ref>
'''Hotel Zanzibar''' was a [[civilian]] hotel in [[Sector 0-5]] of [[Old Mombasa]] on [[Earth]].{{Ref/Reuse|original}}


On the [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulties, the attack on the hotel is led by a [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Ultra|Ultra]]. On the [[Normal]] and [[Easy]] difficulties, he is replaced with a [[Sangheili Major]].

==Layout==
The lobby is located on the [[Liberty Street]] side of the building. From the lobby is a little foyer, which contains four elevators. This foyer then leads down a hall, which contains 16 rooms. This hall leads to the beachside of the building. An outdoor pedestrian bridge crosses over a waterfront road way to a small viewing area that looks over the [[New Mombasa industrial zone]].{{Ref/Reuse|original}} As well, somewhere within the hotel is the Zanzibar and Grille.{{Ref/Reuse|anniversary}}
