The Great Zimbabwe Hotel is a longstanding hospitality establishment located 700m away from the iconic Great Zimbabwe National Monument, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hotel was originally established to serve the growing number of tourists and archaeologists who began visiting the monument in the early 20th century, following the global recognition of Great Zimbabwe’s historical and cultural importance. Built to blend with its ancient and majestic surroundings, the hotel reflects the architectural style and stonework themes inspired by the Great Zimbabwe ruins themselves — a tribute to the heritage of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe, which flourished between the 11th and 15th centuries. The hotel has traditionally served as a cultural gateway, offering guests a base from which to explore one of Africa’s greatest historical sites. Over the years, it has welcomed tourists, historians, researchers, diplomats, and families seeking both education and leisure. With its proximity to the Great Zimbabwe monument and serene natural setting, the hotel has maintained a reputation for offering an immersive experience that combines modern comfort with ancient legacy. It has also played host to local events, school tours, heritage festivals, and conferences, becoming a key player in the promotion of domestic and international tourism in Masvingo
