Arriving at Victoria Falls Hotel is special. Cross the pillared threshold of this grand Edwardian edifice and you won’t know if you’ve stepped out of a taxi or a Tardis. Decked out in gleaming white safari suits topped with pith helmets, beaming doormen usher you into a distinguished and elegant era. The teak-lined foyer of the Victoria Falls Hotel has seen a steady stream of royals since the turn of the century. And the views of the Falls from the vast, red-bricked terrace, framed by flamboyant trees (by name and by nature), has to be seen to be believed. As does the breakfast buffet’s sonnet-worthy mimosa station. When it comes to old world charm, Victoria Falls Hotel will charm the pants off you.
