A Fresh Look, A Superior Experience
The Cassia Restaurant at Ilala Lodge Hotel has officially reopened today, March 1, 2025, unveiling a bold new look designed to redefine the guest experience. With its elegant redesign, this renovation isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about elevating Ilala’s position as a premier dining destination in Victoria Falls’ competitive hospitality market.
What’s New? A Blend of Tradition and Contemporary Elegance
Every inch of Cassia Restaurant has been meticulously transformed. Rich wooden accents, botanical wallpaper, and a green herringbone tile backsplash create a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. A redesigned coffee and refreshment station ensures seamless service, while the revamped buffet area enhances both functionality and presentation, showcasing locally inspired and internationally curated cuisine.
One of the most striking updates is the main dining room, where Ilala Lodge’s signature thatched ceiling and decorative chandeliers beautifully blend African tradition with modern luxury. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking views of lush gardens, immersing diners in the natural beauty of Victoria Falls.
For those who love outdoor dining, the terrace area has been upgraded with new seating and décor, offering an uninterrupted view of the mist rising from the falls—a signature experience that Cassia Restaurant is known for.
What This Means for Business Travellers and Hospitality Investors
This refurbishment isn’t just about enhancing guest comfort—it signals Ilala Lodge Hotel’s commitment to staying competitive in Africa’s luxury hospitality space. As demand for high-end, experience-driven travel grows, Ilala’s investment in a world-class dining environment reinforces its appeal to both leisure travellers and corporate guests looking for premium accommodation and dining.
