The Royal Livingstone Hotel in Zambia, is situated on the forested banks of the great Zambezi River, upstream of the Victoria Falls where the mightly river thunders into the Batoka Gorge.
The Royal Livingstone Hotel is a serene and gracious refuge from the heat of the African sun. The 173 luxurious rooms with their comfortable furnishings are tastefully decorated in the soft earth tones of the bushveld, with spreading views of the river and Acacia forest. Guests may pass lazy days on the magnificent sun deck overlooking the Zambezi as it flows relentlessly to the Falls, and enjoy fine dining in the restaurant or on the long verandah overlooking the gardens.
For the discerning traveller in search of luxury, extravagance and sheer indulgence, the Royal Livingstone Hotel will set your heart on fire and soothe your soul. Set in the lush riverine belt and touching the banks of the great Zambezi River, this earthy Eden provides a secluded haven.
There is a highly sophisticated and flexible conference centre, able to cater for a variety of international functions and themed banquets. It offers conference facilities that match and exceed many of its size in the world.
Architecturally, the Royal Livingstone Hotel's buildings take their cue from African resonances. The hotel stretches luxuriously along the banks of the Zambezi River and consists of a series of 17 colonial-style buildings, with deep verandas, set amidst indigenous trees and plants.
The main hotel is a sequence of thatch-roofed buildings, mostly African in their influence, and incorporates the lounge, restaurant and bar. A classic swimming pool visually links the waters of the river with the terraces of the hotel, with a sweeping timber deck planted in the swirling water of the Zambezi.
The reception area of the Royal Livingstone Hotel is framed by a classic courtyard featuring a fountain and exuding the aroma of herbs from the interior gardens. Overhead, wooden fans cool the charged atmosphere. The resort's deep, shaded verandah, offers an uninterrupted view of the Zambezi River and is the ideal place to curl up with a book discovered in the well-stocked library. The lounge is filled with original artwork depicting scenes of David Livingstone's great African adventures.
The food served in the restaurants of the Royal Livingstone Hotel are inspired by the mixed influences of Africa and the results are a culinary exploration garnered from the many different cultures that prevail in this diverse and delightful continent.
Only footsteps from the Zambezi River, the rooms and suites offer a tranquil retreat from the unconstrained beauty of their surroundings. The rooms are two-storey clusters and each cluster comprises approximately 10 en-suite air-conditioned rooms, offering private balconies or terraces. Interior furnishings accentuate the influences of Africa translated into a cultured sumptuousness that reflects the essence of African Bush life.
Set within Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, the Royal Livingstone Hotel offers unlimited direct access to the Falls through its own private gate.
