Perched above the Zambezi Gorge in full view of the stupendous falls, the Victoria Falls Hotel offers the same splendid panorama and genteel Edwardian ambience that made it a legend when it opened in 1904. The 5-star colonial landmark is surrounded by tropical gardens within Victoria Falls National Park. Duly famous around the world, the hotel epitomizes the grace and romance of a grand era of travel.

This peerless property overlooks the expanse of the falls, the Victoria Falls Bridge and the Zambezi River. Situated on a sprawling expanse of manicured lawn and gardens, the hotel’s incomparable setting and refined elegance have earned it international acclaim. While retaining its historic charm, the estate has been refurbished to provide every convenience. Rooms are decorated to recapture the luxury of a bygone age, with four-poster canopied beds and antique furnishings and artifacts to elicit a period sensibility. Modern facilities mingle seamlessly to provide exceptional comfort. Various lounges offer a traditional setting for drinks and convivial conversation, while the wide colonial verandas invite guests to relax and survey the matchless view. Dining is a highlight, with fine silver service in the Livingstone Room. Other restaurants serve more casual fare. Just a few minutes’ walk along a private pathway is the gorge rim, for stupendous views of the falls and bridge where bungee jumpers plummet 365 feet toward the thundering Zambezi below.
