Protea Hotel by Marriott Livingstone

Protea Hotel Livingstone stands on Mosi-O-Tunya Road on the outskirts of Livingstone, ten kilometres from Victoria Falls — the Zambezi waterfall the local Lozi-speaking community calls Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning the smoke that thunders. The falls are the reason most guests are here, and the hotel is a straightforward, functional base from which to reach them.

The hotel holds forty deluxe rooms across two room types. Standard doubles carry a colonial-style fit-out; standard twins offer two queen-size extra-length beds, a writing desk, and an armchair. Both room types come with air conditioning, en-suite bathroom with shower, minibar, tea and coffee facilities, satellite television, a digital safe, international plug points, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

On site you will find an outdoor swimming pool, a restaurant, a conference centre, and secure parking. An airport shuttle is available for transfers. The hotel accepts credit cards. For guests who want to walk, on-site walks are offered; general sightseeing around Livingstone and the falls area is the main activity off site.

The hotel is part of the Protea by Marriott portfolio and participates in the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty programme. Mosi-O-Tunya Road connects the hotel directly to the town centre and to the border crossing into Zimbabwe.
