The Royal
Livingstone Hotel
The
Royal Livingstone Hotel, stretches luxuriously along
the banks of the Zambezi River. The Hotel consists
of a series 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
waters of the river with the terraces of the hotel,
with a sweeping timber deck planted in the swirling
water of the Zambezi.
The
reception area is framed by a classic courtyard
featuring a fountain and exuding the aroma of herbs
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.
Only footsteps from
the Zambezi River, the rooms and suites offer a
tranquil retreat from the unconstrained beauty of
their surroundings. The Royal Livingstone, is a
5-star, 173-roomed luxury hotel.
The rooms are
two-storey clusters and each cluster comprises
approximately 10 en-suite air-conditioned rooms,
offering private balconies or terraces. Interior
furnishings accentuate the influences of Africa
translated into a cultured sumptuousness that
reflects the essence of African Bush life. Natural
light invades the bathrooms, as the luxurious sized
showers allow natural light to filter through a
milk-glass window.
