Thailand based Minor Hotels is introducing its first Zimbabwe hotel.
Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel marks a debut for a Minor Hotels brand in the country.
The company has more than 550 hotels in 56 countries across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, the Indian Ocean, Europe and the Americas.
The property complements The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara, offering properties on both sides of the Zambezi River.
Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel becomes the seventh Anantara property in Africa and the Indian Ocean when it joins the portfolio on 1 December.
This will be closely followed by Anantara Kafue River Tented Camp in Zambia, scheduled to open in mid-2025.
Just a 15-minute drive from Victoria Falls, the Zimbabwe hotel has 16 suites.
Amenities include a restaurant, a lounge and bar and a swimming pool.
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, the falls offers a range of sightseeing and adventure including boat trips, zip-lining across Batoka Gorge, helicopter flights over the falls 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.
Activities can be organised through the hotel’s concierge desk.
“We are excited to announce a second Anantara property at Victoria Falls, showcasing our dedication to growing our luxury Anantara brand in Africa,” said Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels.
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.
Minor Hotels currently operates 27 hotels and resorts in nine countries in Africa.
These are across the Anantara, Avani, NH and Elewana Collection brands.
