Architecturally, the buildings take their cue from the African renaissance. The Royal Livingstone Hotel stretches luxuriously along the banks of the Zambezi River. A stone’s throw away from the mighty Victoria Falls, the Royal Livingstone overlooks the smooth waters just before it plunges over the legendary waterfall creating a permanent water spray. The Hotel consists of 17 colonial-style buildings, with deep verandas, set amidst indigenous trees and plants.

The main hotel is a sequence of thatch-roofed buildings, most African in their influence, and incorporates the lounge, restaurant, and bar. A classic swimming pool visually links the river's waters with the hotel's terraces, with a sweeping timber deck planted in the Zambezi's swirling water. The reception area is framed by a classic courtyard featuring a fountain and exuding herbs' aroma from the interior gardens. Overhead, wooden fans cool the charged atmosphere. The resort's deep, shaded verandah offers an uninterrupted view of the Zambezi River and is the ideal place to curl up with a book discovered in the well-stocked library. The lounge is filled with original artwork depicting scenes of David Livingstone's great African adventures.

The 173 luxurious rooms with their comfortable furnishings are decorated in the bushveld's soft earthy tones, with views of the river and the acacia forest. Guests may enjoy fine dining in the restaurant or on the veranda overlooking the gardens. Experience the area wildlife, including zebras, giraffes, and impalas.
