A zeppelin tower is usually a multi-story building where a zeppelin docks to pickup and drop off passengers. These buildings mark regular routes and usually have Horde guards at its entrances and docking platforms — as the zeppelin is the primary intercontinental transportation for the Horde.
Presently, there are seven zeppelin towers:
- Two stone towers between Brill and the Undercity in Tirisfal Glades.
- Docking platform jutting out of the Spirit Rise in Thunder Bluff.
- Zeppelin landing in Grom'gol Base Camp, Stranglethorn Vale.
- Forsaken tower in Vengeance Landing, Howling Fjord.
- Warsong Hold in Borean Tundra — the zeppelin actually docks within Warsong Hold itself.
- Two zeppelin towers inside Orgrimmar built after the Cataclysm.
- Zeppelin tower at the Dranosh'ar Blockade. It is used by a gunship called the Defiant Dragonscale to take adventurers to the Dragon Isles.

- The Skytower, while not a true zeppelin tower, had a stationary zeppelin moored there and served as the basis for the orc zeppelin tower.
