The Palm River Hotel is one of only a handful of hotels/lodges located ON the banks of the Zambezi River above the Victoria Falls. Special attention was made when the hotel was under construction to ensure that the magnificent views were maintained, while at the same time ensuring guests’ privacy in this oasis on the river. The fact that the hotel is only 4 kilometres from the falls themselves means that on quiet days guests can even hear the sound of the falls and sometimes see the “smoke that thunders” from the luxury of the hotel. 

The Palm River Hotel décor is “inspired by the architectural style of the Queenslander, distinct in its savvy use of timber and corrugated iron and its consideration of climatic conditions”. The Palm Restaurant offers al fresco dining in a stunning setting under a canopy of trees at the front of the hotel, overlooking the river and swimming pool area. 

Day visitors as well as in-house guests can choose from the a la carte menu, which prides itself on using fresh and locally sourced ingredients. The Riverside bar is also located outdoors under the trees and is one of the most popular spots with guests. The Hotel offers 24-hour reception services and has complimentary Wi-Fi. It has a variety of room styles available. 

The Palm River Hotel offers something for everyone, and is a truly unique hotel well worth a stay when you are next in Victoria Falls.  And remember, all guests will receive a complimentary afternoon tea or coffee with sweet treats!
