The main hotel is looking quite spruced up, but it is still a colonial style hotel which people either love or hate. Plus there’s now a lot of competition in Victoria Falls.
• Important note: all rooms are now based on size and amenities and not on location. So always REQUEST a garden facing view (and you may see Falls spray as well) but this cannot be guaranteed.
• Only Sable Wing and Exec suites (3) upwards have bath and shower. Classic and Premium room categories have shower only.
Classic rooms – all refurbed in a neutral soft grey tones with signature wallpaper on one wall. Bathroom is also refurbed and now has shower only. Worked well with this size of room
Premium Room – basically two classic rooms combined so sitting room (separate or only portioned) and bedroom area with dressing area and bathroom. Here – in the bigger space – the grey wall colour and furnishings seemed a little too much…
Various value-adds attached to the Premium rooms
Exec suite – very nice, but for this price, you may as well stay by the river in one of the riverside lodges.
Sable Wing – only ones not upgraded yet. Will be done soon but not clear exactly when. Saw Rm 27 which has a balcony overlooking falls (same as room 28). You can request these for anniversaries or honeymoon couples. Looked fine but not crazy about frilly curtains but these will go in the refurb…
Bathrooms are fine and have bath and shower.
