Thinking about the colonial era/style hotels you get in Nairobi or certain spots in the caribbean.

Where else can you find these?

Hmm not sure are there any left in India or Singapore?
Otherwise I think Kenya and the Caribbean are the only places to look.

Raffles in Singapore and Phnom Penh. Think there’s a good one in Siem Reap too.
La Residence in Hue (Vietnam). We stayed in a great one in Ho Chi Minh City too, but I forget its name. Loads of colonial era hotels in SE. Asia.
agree with the Victoria Falls Hotel.

Not quite the same, but some of the grand hotels in Budapest are getting that way
