Grand Hyatt Victoria Falls The Kingdom is expected to open in late 2027 following a management agreement between a Hyatt affiliate and an affiliate of Albwardy Investments LLC. The hotel will be located in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, and will become the second Hyatt branded property in the country.
The building, originally constructed in 1966 and redeveloped in 1999, will undergo a comprehensive renovation and design transformation to align with the Grand Hyatt brand. The property will be situated in the center of Victoria Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site locally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya.
The hotel is planned to feature 245 guestrooms, 1,800 square meters (19,375 square feet) of meeting and event space, three dining venues, a spa, a fitness center, and a grand lobby lounge. The location places the hotel within a five-minute walk of the Victoria Falls rainforest and near regional safari circuits, guided tours, restaurants, and cultural sites. It is the closest hotel to the entrance of the Victoria Falls National Park on the Zimbabwean side of the border and is a 20-minute drive from Victoria Falls International Airport.
