Victoria Falls Hotel

Picture



Country:  Zimbabwe

Location: Victoria Falls
 
Style: Luxury 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.  Set in lush tropical gardens with lily ponds, palm trees and semi-tropical shrubs, it provides the tranquillity and seclusion that many guests seek. 

The Edwardian-style 5 star hotel, built in 1904, redecorated and refurbished, now combines the charm of the old with the convenience of the new.    

The ambiance of the hotel is steeped in history with all suites decorated in the gracious Edwardian style of  Zimbabwe’s colonial era.   It has 161 rooms comprising 37 standard rooms, 58 traditional rooms, 48 deluxe rooms, 7 junior suites, 4 honeymoon suites, 6 executive suites and the Royal Suite.   The latter, as the name suggests, has seen reigning monarchs, presidents and, more recently, many famous Hollywood stars among its privileged occupants.

World-class service, and food and beverage choice and preparation, make the hotel a magnet for international visitors and locals alike.   The opulent Livingstone Room for fine dining and dancing, the Jungle Junction with its famous breakfast and dinner buffets and ethnic entertainment in the evenings, offer variety and wide choice. 

Stanley’s Terrace, 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 corridors reflect and tell the history of this unique part of Africa, with particular reference to the building of the railway from Cape Town to what is now Zambia.   It is very much part of the unrealised “Cape to Cairo” dream of Cecil John Rhodes.

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.

A  large swimming pool, 2 tennis courts, a library, reading rooms and chapel are  part of the complex.   Golfers can enjoy 18 holes on the championship course of  the nearby sister hotel, Elephant Hills Resort.

The famous Victoria Falls are just a 10 minute walk away using the hotel’s private pathway, and “the smoke that thunders” or “Mosi-O-Tunya” in the local dialect, is clearly audible and visible from this luxurious landmark.

For guests who wish to take in some game viewing, a 5 kilometre drive (or walk) brings them to the  national park and, guided by professional rangers, they will seek out Zimbabwe’s “Big 5” – elephant, rhino, leopard, lion and buffalo – and be able to capture  their encounters forever, on camera!

A sunset cruise on the mighty Zambezi River, just upstream from the magnificent falls, is another must for the visitor and will be arranged by hotel staff.    Crocodiles, abundant hippo, herds of elephant and new  friends are the staple of these legendary exhilarating cruises.

But it is the Victoria Falls Hotel that remains the major attraction for visitors.   Waking up to the sound of “the smoke that thunders,” seeing the sun rise beneath the mist of one of the 7 natural wonders of the world and the lunar rainbow at night, all the while soaking up the history and ambiance of a bygone era, is  more than unforgettable – it is unique.
