Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara

Location & Setting

You will experience attentive service, opulent surroundings, and a setting that is hard to beat. Rooms sit along the river’s edge with access to manicured gardens beneath ancient trees. Zebra graze the lawns, and giraffe can be seen in the park from the Royal Livingstone Express.

Rooms

The hotel has 173 spacious rooms with private verandas extending along the riverbank. En suite bathrooms are generous, with showers and Victorian-style baths to complement the bedrooms. Units feature crisp white linens and large, comfortable beds. The four suites, three Livingstone Suites and a Presidential Suite, give more space. Cots can be provided on request for families.

Facilities

Dining at the Royal Livingstone blends old-world ambiance with refined cuisine. Hearty breakfasts and à la carte dinners are served in the restaurant, while light lunches are offered alfresco on the veranda. The riverside deck is an ideal spot for sundowner drinks and snacks while taking in sweeping Zambezi views.

The restaurants are The Old Drift and Kubu Restaurant and Bar, and drinks are served in the Royal Livingstone Lounge, on the Royal Sun Deck and in the Travellers Bar. High tea is a hotel tradition. The signature evening is dinner aboard the Royal Livingstone Express, a restored steam train that crosses the Victoria Falls Bridge, and Livingstone airport is about 25 minutes away.
