Location & Setting
Set on Hendrik Witbooi Street in Swakopmund’s compact centre, the hotel places guests within minutes of the seafront promenade, restaurants and key landmarks. Walvis Bay International Airport lies roughly a 30–35 minute drive south along the B2, making arrivals straightforward. The location suits walkers and self-drivers alike: secure on-site access, easy street navigation and quick pick-ups for guided excursions. Despite the central address, the sheltered internal courtyard and thick masonry keep common areas calm and protected from the Atlantic breeze.
Rooms
The property offers individually decorated rooms and suites, including family units and two executive suites with private lounges. Expect en-suite bathrooms, heating under tile or carpet for cool coastal nights, satellite TV, in-room safes and tea/coffee facilities. Many rooms face the quiet inner courtyard for added privacy. Design leans classic rather than contemporary, with polished service and turn-down touches reinforcing the hotel’s heritage character. Reliable Wi-Fi supports planning and work needs, while requestable twin/double configurations suit couples, friends or parents traveling with children.
Facilities
Dining spans a refined restaurant with German-influenced menus and a convivial bar opening to the courtyard terrace—popular for sundowners protected from the ocean wind. The gardened courtyard provides a peaceful social space between outings, and reception can arrange desert experiences, Sandwich Harbour and Skeleton Coast day trips. Practical comforts include room service, laundry on request and dependable connectivity in common areas and most rooms. The overall feel is gracious, central and convenient—heritage ambience paired to modern essentials.
