About Palm River Hotel, Victoria Falls
Palm River Hotel is on Parkway Drive, the road that follows the Zambezi upstream of Victoria Falls town. It is a full-service hotel with an infinity pool, spa, fitness centre, sun terrace and gardens, and some rooms have river views.
The hotel also lists a children’s pool and family rooms, so it covers both couples and families in a resort-style format.
Best for
Families who want a kids’ pool; couples who want a spa and infinity pool; travellers who want a river outlook with hotel services.
Less suited to budget travellers and anyone who wants to walk to the falls.

Where it is
The town of Victoria Falls grew up beside the falls and remains the main place to stay for them: hotels, lodges and guesthouses are spread between the town centre, the riverfront and the quieter suburbs, with the rainforest entrance to Victoria Falls National Park on the edge of town.
