Victoria Falls Hotel

For over 100 years, visiting members of Royal families, international and local statesmen, and celebrities worldwide, have preferred to stay at The Victoria Falls Hotel “the grand old lady of the Falls”, where they are assured of privacy and care. An atmosphere steeped in history, combines the charm of the old with the 5 star comfort and convenience of today.

The hotel is set in lush tropical gardens with lily ponds and palm trees. Its 180 rooms are decorated in a manner that recaptures the comfortable charm of a bygone age, with colonial prints, four-poster and canopied beds, antique furniture and well-chosen artifacts. Deluxe Rooms and Suites in the original section of the hotel offer breathtaking views across the deep Zambezi River gorge to the Victoria Falls Bridge and the spray of the Falls.

The elegant decor and the old world charm of this gracious hotel are reflected in the wide colonial verandahs and the Livingstone room with its superb cuisine. Here you can enjoy elegant dinners and dancing in the evenings. Or try the Traditional high tea served every afternoon on Stanley's Terrace, with spectacular views of the Victoria Falls Bridge down the Batoka Gorge. Later, enjoy one of the hotel's famous Livingstone cocktails or a gin and tonic whilst listening to the mighty roar of the Falls.

The famous Victoria Falls are just a ten-minute walk away using the hotel's private pathway, and "the smoke that thunders" or "Mosi-O-Tunya" as the locals call it, is clearly audible and visible from this luxurious landmark.

Waking up to the sound of "the smoke that thunders", seeing the sun rise beneath the mist of one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the lunar rainbow at night, all the while soaking up the history and ambience of a bygone era, is an unforgettable experience.
