THE ROYAL LIVINGSTONE WINS ACCOLADE IN LUXURY TRAVEL AWARDS 2015

The Royal Livingstone, located on the Zambian banks of the Zambezi River and with its own private entrance to the Victoria Falls has been recognised as ‘Luxury Grand Hotel of the year’, by Luxury Travel Awards Global Awards 2015 – in association with Luxury Travel Guide.

One of 3 hotels within Sun International’s exclusive SunLux Collection, The Royal Livingstone is a colonial style, 5* hotel set in the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, which translates as ‘Smoke That Thunders’, also the Zambian name for the Victoria Falls. The Royal Livingstone is the only hotel to have its own private entrance to the Falls.

“We are delighted that the Royal Livingstone has been awarded such an impressive prize for Luxury Grand Hotel of the year – it is a true testament to the exclusive experience we offer to our guests. To feature among many other great luxury hotels is wonderful but to come out on top is an achievement the entire team is extremely proud of,” says Emmanuelle Moneger, General Manager, Sun International Zambia.

The Royal Livingstone is the perfect base to explore Zambia and offers elephant safaris, walking with cheetahs, helicopter rides over the Victoria Falls or stunning spa treatments in gazebos on the Zambezi River’s edge. Built in 2001, it was named after explorer Dr. David Livingstone who discovered the Victoria Falls in 1855 and after whom the nearby town of Livingstone was also named.

“The entire SunLux Collection is truly honoured that the Royal Livingstone has been singled out by the Luxury Travel Global Awards – it is a true accolade. We encourage our staff to reach for the stars when serving our guests, striving for success and to be singled out before other elite hotels worldwide is a huge achievement,” comments Alison Mckie, Group Manager Marketing, Sun International.

The Luxury Travel Guide Awards represent the pinnacle of hospitality achievement, championing the best in their respective fields. They are delighted to pay tribute to and commend all those who have excelled in the industry. This year the awards have seen an unprecedented number of shortlisted companies, providing strong competition in every category.
