The Victoria Falls Hotel is an Edwardian-style hotel built in 1904, originally to house workers on the Cape-to-Cairo railway, and remains the area's oldest luxury landmark at over 110 years of operation. It underwent a major redesign in 2013 that the hotel describes as blending "traditional majesty with modern sophistication", and it sits on the Zimbabwe side in Victoria Falls town, overlooking the bridge and gorge.
What sets it apart
Genuine 1904 railway-era history and the closest thing this list has to a colonial-era landmark hotel, still in operation.
Who it suits
Travellers wanting a historic, full-service hotel with easy access to the Zimbabwe-side falls entrance.

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
