New hotel in Zambia!

The first Anantara hotel in Zimbabwe, Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel, is now open. The hotel is located across the Zambezi River from The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara, providing the perfect luxury accommodation for guests visiting Victoria Falls. Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel will officially join the Minor Hotels family on December 1, 2024, becoming the seventh Anantara hotel in Africa and the Indian Ocean islands. This is an important step in the group's development strategy in Africa. In 2025, Anantara Kafue River Zambia Tented Camp will also open its doors. The opening of these two hotels demonstrates Minor Hotels' commitment to providing world-class hospitality to travelers worldwide and establishing deeper connections with the African continent. Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel is located in a picturesque nature reserve, just a 15-minute drive from Victoria Falls. The hotel has 16 suites, each of which can be configured as a king or twin room, and adjacent rooms can be connected to form a private two-bedroom suite, making it an ideal choice for family vacations. Hotel facilities include an all-day dining restaurant where guests can choose to dine indoors, on the terrace, or in the garden. The lobby bar and bar offer a variety of drinks, such as tea, coffee, beer, wine, and cocktails. The garden pool is equipped with sun loungers, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel, allowing guests to stay connected with the outside world while enjoying a secluded retreat. The hotel is especially suitable for families and offers a range of activities for all ages in and around Victoria Falls. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a natural wonder of the world, Victoria Falls offers breathtaking views and exciting adventures, such as a boat tour of the Devil's Pool at the edge of the falls, zip-lining over the Batoka Gorge, helicopter rides through the falls and splashing water, or watching wildlife on the Zambezi River at sunset. Guests can also visit the nearby Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve for a safari and black rhino conservation experience. The concierge will assist guests in arranging various activities, and the hotel's complimentary shuttle service to and from Victoria Falls Town, Victoria Falls Airport, and Livingstone Airport provides convenience for guests' travel and exploration. Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor International and Minor Hotels, said, "We are delighted to open a second Anantara hotel next to Victoria Falls, demonstrating our commitment to developing our luxury brand in Africa. Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel is a stylish boutique hotel in a prime location near one of Southern Africa's most iconic attractions, once again demonstrating our commitment to providing unparalleled hospitality and unique experiences in the world's most desirable destinations."
