Located in a picturesque conservation area just a 15-minute drive from Victoria Falls, the hotel is an intimate 16-key all-suite property. Each room can be configured as a double or twin and two sets of suites are interconnected to create private two-bedroom accommodation, ideal for families. Facilities include a gourmet restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the dining room, on the terrace, or in the gardens. The hotel's lounge and bar serve a wide selection of beverages from teas and coffees to beers, wines, and cocktails. A garden swimming pool with shaded loungers allows easy relaxation while complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the hotel keeps every guest connected.

The hotel is family friendly and offers guests a range of activities for all ages, both at the hotel and around Victoria Falls. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and Natural Wonder of the World, the planet's largest sheet of falling water offers endless opportunities for sightseeing and adventure. These include boat trips to swim in Devil's Pool at the edge of the falls, zip-lining across Batoka Gorge, helicopter flights over the falls and spray, and wildlife-spotting sunset cruises on the Zambezi. Guests can also enjoy game drives and a black rhino conservation experience at the nearby Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve, starting from the hotel's view overlooking an active waterhole. Activities can be organised through the concierge desk while complimentary transfers between the hotel, Victoria Falls town, Victoria Falls International Airport, and Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport make arrival, departure, and exploration straightforward.

"We are excited to announce the addition of a second Anantara property at Victoria Falls, showcasing our dedication to growing our luxury Anantara brand in Africa," commented Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels and Group CEO of parent company Minor International. "An elegant boutique hotel in a strategic location close to one of Southern Africa's most iconic attractions, Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel embodies our commitment to deliver peerless hospitality and distinctive experiences in the world's most desirable locations."

Anantara Hotels & Resorts has an existing portfolio of over 50 properties across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the Indian Ocean and Africa, with a strong pipeline of further hotels and resorts under development, including in new destinations such as Saudi Arabia and Brazil. Anantara provides unforgettable journeys that encourage guests to immerse themselves in the places, people and stories that make each destination extraordinary and unique, all while staying in unrivalled comfort where every need is anticipated.

Minor Hotels currently operates 27 hotels and resorts in nine countries in Africa, across its Anantara, Avani, NH and Elewana Collection brands, including Avani Victoria Falls Resort in Zambia, the closest hotel to the Falls, and NH Johannesburg Sandton Hotel which launched earlier this year representing the brand's debut on the continent.
