Victoria Falls Hotel

EDWARDIAN-STYLE FIVE-STAR HOTEL 

The Victoria Falls Hotel, popularly known as “the grand old lady of the Falls”, is situated in the Victoria Falls National Park, a world heritage site, and is a member of the exclusive Leading Hotels of the World group.

Built in 1904 the Victoria Falls Hotel combines the charm of the old with the convenience of the new.  World-class service, and food and beverage choice and preparation second to none, make the hotel a magnet for international visitors and locals alike. Stanley’s Terrace in front of the hotel, with its clear view of the Victoria Falls Bridge, connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia, is renowned for its cocktails and afternoon teas. The Terrace has been a rendezvous for adventurers in Africa for over a century. 

The ambience of the hotel is steeped history, all suites are decorated in the gracious Edwardian style of Zimbabwe’s colonial era. Small executive meetings and private dining facilities are easily arranged for those who wish to combine a little business with a lot of pleasure, and all in a secluded and discreet environment. 

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 more than unforgettable – it is unique.

 One of only three IS0-accredited hotels in Zimbabwe.
