Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe
The location of the Palm River Hotel could not be more idyllic, situated as it is along the banks of the iconic Zambezi River, among towering indigenous trees and only 4 kilometres from Africa’s Natural World Wonder, Victoria Falls - so close, in fact, that on a clear, quiet day you can hear the thunder and see the spray of the mighty waterfall from your room.
The restaurant has large sliding doors that open out onto an idyllic riverfront vista. The dining experience flows onto to a large patio and out to an al fresco dining space, sheltered by a canopy of indigenous trees. The restaurant offers an à la carte menu serving breakfast, lunch and dinner to hotel guests and day visitors, while the cuisine reflects the natural setting, using fresh, local ingredients.
There is also a large outdoor swimming pool.
The hotel has 73 rooms. Guests have the choice of Deluxe Rooms, Deluxe Suites, Executive Suites, Honeymoon Suites, a Presidential Suite and the standout Palm River Villa.
Elegantly appointed with comfort and space in mind, the interior design of the rooms is focused on bringing the outside in, with the stylish use of natural tones, locally sourced materials and artwork reflective of the area. The well placed rooms all offer expansive views of the riverside garden from the bedroom balcony, allowing guests to feel up close and personal with the mighty Zambezi River.
The Deluxe Suites are perfect for families as they are made up of 2 deluxe rooms which both interlead into a shared lounge area.
