The Victoria Falls Hotel is the 'Grand Dame' of Victoria Falls. For almost 100 years, members of Royal Families, international statesmen, and celebrities have preferred to stay at this elegant landmark hotel. Through the years, the 'Vic Falls Hotel' has enjoyed various renovations, but has lost none of its earlier charm. In fact, much of the Victoria Falls Hotel has been meticulously brought back to its former grandeur using original photos and plans. The architecture reflects Edwardian style with numerous corridors, archways and columns, as well as extensive wood paneling. The Hotel has 161 rooms, broken up into five different categories of accommodation. The Victoria Falls Hotel is set on lush green lawns, adorned with beautiful flowers, shrubs and indigenous trees. There is a lovely brick terrace at the top of the garden where guests can relax in deep wicker chairs and look out to the famous railway bridge, enveloped in the mist of the falls. Only five kilometers away is a National Park, which is perfect for game viewing. The Victoria Falls Hotel boasts a large swimming pool, two tennis courts, a library, some lavishly furnished reading rooms as well as a charming little chapel. The Elephant Hills Resort is the sister hotel of The Victoria Falls Hotel and has a 18-hole championship golf course that guests are welcome to use. Do yourself a favor and go on a sunset cruise on the Mighty Zambesi, as the locals call it.
There is a wide variety to choose from when dining at the Victoria Falls Hotel. The Hotel offers world class service in the Livingstone Room, which is known for combining fine dining and dancing, whereas the Jungle Junction is famous for its breakfast and dinner buffets. Enjoy some ethnic entertainment that is offered during the evenings to sweep you away into another world. Stanley’s Terrace is the place to be for some afternoon tea or even a cocktail or two, while enjoying the spectacular view of the Victoria Falls Bridge. |
