The Palm River Hotel

Sitting on the lush banks of the Zambezi River, just 4 kilometres upstream from the roaring Victoria Falls, the Palm River couldn't be better placed. A talented team of Zimbabwean architects and designers were assembled to create the unique design, and the hotel has a timeless elegance that extends from the curated decor to the sweeping dining hall. Speaking of which, most of the locally-inspired meals are created using goodies harvested from the greenhouses - the baobab cremeux sounds very tempting. The Palm is also a dedicated custodian of nature, with fantastic eco initiatives including the preservation of indigenous trees that stand grandly on the lawns.
