'''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 ''[[UNSC In Amber Clad]]'' dispatched [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|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]] ground forces when [[Master Chief|Spartan 117]] arrived and aided the surviving Marines, eventually leading them into [[New Mombasa]]<ref>[[Halo 2]], level [[Outskirts (Level)|Outskirts]]</ref>.The hotel was originally going to be in the Another day at the Beach video.

The attack on the hotel was led by an [[Ultra Elite|Ultra]] [[Elite]] ([[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulties only). He almost never appears on the [[Normal]] and [[Easy]] difficulties, he is replaced with a [[Major Elite]].

Hotel Zanzibar is also seen in the video Another Day at the Beach, which is shown in the Halo 2, Maptacular Pack.

==Trivia==
* The hotel bears a striking resemblance to the Guggenheim Museum in Portland.
