 | Victoria Falls Hotel: The Choice of the Rich and Famous for 100 Years
|  |

I've stayed at this hotel several times and have never been disappointed.
Internationally claimed, The Victoria Falls Hotel, set in acres of private garden, was established in 1904 and for over 90 years, visiting members of Royal families, Heads of State, celebrities, authors, journalists and poets have stayed here.
The grand Edwardian style hotel overlooking the Victoria Falls bridge and gorges has acres of garden. A private path leads down to excellent viewpoints of the falls.
Light lunches and evening barbecues are terrific and can be enjoyed on an open air terrace with the roar of the Falls as a backdrop. The shaded area with its enormous trees is also filled with the sound of the Marimba band, giving it a real African ambience.
The hotel staff is extreemely helpful and will arrange any number of exciting and diverse activities in the area, including rafting, hiking, elephant safaris, flying, bungey jumping, etc. Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: most expensivePhone: 263-1344751

The name says it all. This is one of the great landmark hotels of the world. The hotel was built in 1904 and represents the splendour of colonial history. It has the amazing Stanley Room with murals depicting the luxury enjoyed by colonial travellers during the heyday of the British Empire. Throughout this classic gem of a hotel are stuffed wild animals and a few live baboons still scurry through the massive grounds. Their private footpath leads to Victoria Falls in just 10 minutes. This hotel has all the old world charm, modern luxuries and caring staff to make your stay and absolute delight. If your budget can’t stretch to staying here, at least come for a stroll through the hotel and grounds.
Stanley’s Terrace offers a fantastic view of the Victoria Falls Bridge, connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia and is a great place for a cup of tea or evening drink. Their pool and spa are world class, the rooms well appointed and their restaurant offer an area of food from local recipes to international fare. The whole of the immaculate gardens and grounds are actually within Victoria Falls National Park.
The 161 room hotel has hosted monarchs, president and movie stars. The walls are lined with amazing photos of colonial times, cultural exhibits and beautiful wood features throughout. It has an internet room, library, chapel, tennis courts and often live musicians playing in the gardens. The hotel can also organised golfing, river cruises and game safaris.
This is a real slice of history and a must see if you are visiting the falls.
