A heritage property, rich with colonial charm within walking distance of Victoria Falls.
The Victoria Falls Hotel is a stylish Edwardian property located within walking distance from a private entrance to Victoria Falls and surrounded by large landscaped gardens, an outstanding pool, and spectacular views overlooking Victoria Falls Bridge and Batoka Gorge. The Victoria Falls Hotel was originally built in 1904 by the British to accommodate those working on the Cape to Cairo Railway. Over the decades, it has become one of the most iconic hotels in Africa, hosting royalty and dignitaries from all over the world.
It’s a 20-minute walk across the manicured gardens to Victoria Falls, the spray from which can be seen from some of the rooms and from the Stanley Terrace where a signature high tea is served every afternoon. Throughout, the traditional Edwardian décor reflects the history of the property. Hotel facilities include a secluded swimming pool, a small fitness room, beauty spa and hair salon.

Facilities
The signature restaurant, The Livingstone Room, is often considered to be the precedent for fine dining in Africa. Expect a glamorous evening as you dine on an exquisite à la carte menu within the elegant Edwardian-styled dining room. For a more casual affair, the garden restaurant Jungle Junction offers a delicious African buffet set against a stunning backdrop of the Batoka Gorge. For an added indulgence, there's also a bar and The Stanley Terrace where afternoon tea is served.

Jungle Junction

Stanley's Terrace
