Situated in Victoria Falls town centre, Ilala Lodge Hotel holds the distinction of being the closest hotel to the waterfall on the Zimbabwean side – an eight-minute walk from the main viewing points. This positioning offers particular convenience for guests seeking immediate access to the Falls upon arrival.

The hotel's 73 rooms and suites are configured across multiple categories, from Classic Rooms to the expansive Strathearn Suite. All accommodations feature garden views that extend toward the adjacent national park. The constant sound of falling water – locally known as "the smoke which thunders" – provides a distinctive atmospheric element unique to this location.

The award-winning Cassia Restaurant has earned recognition for both its cuisine and extensive wine menu, featuring selections from established South African vineyards. The restaurant operates throughout the day, with evening service conducted outdoors under natural lighting. The proximity to Victoria Falls means that the spray from the of the waterfall provides a unique visual backdrop.

Two swimming pools anchor the hotel's leisure facilities, complemented by a poolside bar and lounge area equipped with business facilities, games, and reading materials. An activities office staffed by specialists are ready to book activities ranging from helicopter flights to multi-day safari extensions.
