This famous and charming colonial 5 star hotel is situated only minutes away from the thundering Victoria Falls – close enough for guests to see the spray from the hotel lobby! Built by the British in 1904 (originally to house workers on the Cape-to-Cairo railway), the hotel has in recent years been entirely refurbished and is looking lovelier than ever.
Victoria Falls Hotel offers 161 air-conditioned rooms with satellite TV and complimentary wireless internet access. Bathrooms offer shower/tub combinations and hair dryers. The hotel also has a choice of 2 restaurants and a bar/lounge as well as a coffee shop and poolside bar. Other facilities include a spa and outdoor swimming pool.
