Accor has announced the establishment of Novotel Victoria Falls within the Eagle Heights precinct of Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls.
The new-build property, scheduled to open in 2028, will have 111 keys with facilities including an outdoor swimming pool, kids’ club, all-day dining restaurant and destination bar. The property will also have access to Victoria Falls’ adventure tourism offerings such as white-water rafting, bungee jumping and scenic helicopter flights.
The hotel marks Accor’s first entry into Zimbabwe. It will be developed under a management agreement with Eagle Real Estate Investment Trust.
“This signing represents a bold step forward in our development strategy for sub-Saharan Africa,” said Maya Ziade, Chief Development Officer for Accor’s Premium, Midscale & Economy Division across the Middle East, Africa and Türkiye. “Victoria Falls is one of the world’s most extraordinary destinations and we are proud to bring the Novotel brand experience to Zimbabwe for the very first time. As a first mover, we see this project as a gateway to long-term sustainable growth in the country.”
