The manicured gardens and beautiful buildings together with the courtyard filled with lily ponds in the middle of the hotel gives a feeling of tranquillity and sheer relaxation.

The 180 rooms are decorated in a way that recaptures the comfortable charm of  a bygone age, with colonial prints, Edwardian styled furniture and well-chosen artefacts.

Deluxe rooms and suites in the original section of the hotel offer breathtaking views across the Victoria Falls Bridge and Zambezi River Gorge. Whilst the other rooms enjoy views of the garden and surrounding area.
