To stay at the Victoria Falls Hotel is to travel back in time: very little here has changed since the early 20th century. Wander through the landscaped gardens, admire the original sepia photographs, and enjoy a cocktail on Stanley’s Terrace.
The Victoria Falls Hotel is a magnificent white, two-storey Edwardian building with courtyards, palatial terraces, and acres of immaculately landscaped gardens. Situated in the centre of Victoria Falls village, the hotel overlooks the old iron bridge, which spans the Zambezi Gorge.
Rooms are elegantly appointed and have en suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, radio, and telephone. Leisure facilities include floodlit tennis courts, a billiard room and outdoor chess.

The swimming pool area incorporates four summer houses, where you’ll find a light snack menu and bar waiter service. You can also opt to drink or dine in one of the hotel’s elegant restaurants or atmospheric bars, all of which are decorated in a period style.
Even if you are not staying at Victoria Falls Hotel, you must pop in for afternoon tea. It is, of course, served in the finest porcelain tea cups, with a selection of finger sandwiches and freshly made scones and cakes.

Environment
Through their efforts to make the hotel ‘green’, Victoria Falls Hotel has been awarded a Green Tourism silver award. This demonstrates their commitment to people, places and the planet. Where it can, the hotel uses recycled products as well as recycling products themselves to close the loop. They apply this to all aspects of the business, ensuring an environmentally friendly supply chain is sustained.
Community
The hotel sources it’s supplies from ethically sound businesses and, where possible, sources locally, too. Not only does this lower travel miles, it also ensures that the local communities benefit from the hotel.
