Palm River Hotel

The Palm River Hotel offers 73 rooms of unparalleled luxury situated along the banks of the iconic Zambezi River, amongst towering indigenous trees and only 4 kilometres away from Africa’s Natural World Wonder, Victoria Falls.
The family-run hotel introduces a new dimension of luxury without compromising a sense of home comfort. Guests may enjoy a plethora of activities on offer within the historical town of Victoria Falls or soak in the magic of the Zambezi River and the abundant wildlife that inhabits the popular destination.
The Palm River Hotel embraces sustainable practices and environmentally aware initiatives where possible and is committed to protecting local wildlife and the rich cultural heritage of the area. Vast and unimpeded views of the Zambezi River are complimented by the surrounding indigenous flora that encompasses the tranquil, peaceful, and private sanctuary.
Inspired by the traditional East-Coast Australian design style of the Queenslander, the hotel provides guests with every modern convenience to make their stay as comfortable as possible while maintaining the old-world charm that is the essence of Victoria Falls. The innovative blend of the traditional Queenslander style and the unique landscape of the upper Zambezi River has resulted in Palm River Hotel becoming a new and distinctive landmark.
This is a relatively new hotel built in a plantation style on the river banks with 50 rooms Incl 4 exec suites and 4 Family suites
Standard rooms: Good size with a separate bathroom with shower only, decent sized room. All with balcony, air- con, ceiling fan, mini-bar, safe etc
Executive rooms: Double the size, sitting room and bedroom, dressing area behind the bedroom, bathroom behind with bath, double vanity and double shower, balcony
Family rooms: 2 identical bedrooms both ensuite sf Executive suite bedroom, sharing a sitting room. Good option. One with king bed, one with twins (separate). Note the twins cannot be put together (so note if two couples travelling together). Can add an extra bed in sitting room for third child.
The rooms and bedroom wing felt very hotel-like rather than a lodge. This may or may not appeal to you.
Plus points:
• River location
• Can walk to the boat cruises as they all depart from that location, also other river options like jet boats
• Love the breakfast/dining areas with a plantation style feel in the decor
