The Leopard Rock Hotel is one of Zimbabwe’s legendary and most well-known tourist establishments. Located in the Bvumba Mountains in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe, the Leopard Rock Hotel has been a favourite haunt of royalty, sport stars, celebrities - as well as “ordinary” tourists who appreciate the finer things in life.
The Leopard Rock Hotel in the Vumba Mountains with its French Chateau atmosphere, was described as the most beautiful place in Africa by the British Queen Mother on her visit to Zimbabwe in 1953. Since then, little has changed.

The Casino Wing Suites
The Casino Wing Suites and Casino Wing Rooms were added at a later stage, but are also decorated in the same stylish, classic way of the Turret Wing Rooms. At the Leopard Rock Hotel, the Casino Wing Suites are more spacious than the Casino Wing Rooms. The Casino Wing Suites each offer an adjacent lounge, furnished with sideboard, coffee table and comfortable easy chairs. While the Casino Wing Rooms are modern, they still have a classic feel, and the views from the balconies are unforgettable.
