SWAKOPMUND HOTEL

This Namibia resort has something to offer even for the most discerning or jaded international traveller; the quiet charm of the coastal town of Swakopmund, the stark contrast between sea and desert and the haunting open spaces. This Namibia lodging was once the Swakopmund Station Building and is a striking example of German architecture.

It was completed in 1901, during the period when the railway was the paramount means of transport and station buildings were important landmarks. Declared a National Monument in 1972, the building was scrupulously renovated and returned to its former glory. The building finally came to life again in 1994 as a hotel with a sense of history. It once more welcomes travellers to Swakopmund.

Within weeks of opening, the hotel walked off with the highest accolade in the hospitality industry when it was voted the 'Best Hotel in Namibia for 1994 / 1995'. True to the standard set by the management and staff during the first year, the Swakopmund Hotel was again voted the 'Best Hotel in Namibia for 1995 / 1996'. This achievement was a front-runner in Namibia, as this was the first time the same hotel claimed the award for 2 consecutive years.

This luxury resort caters for all your needs. From the 88 spacious rooms and 2 sumptuous Presidential suites to the warm and inviting Platform One Restaurant. The Swakopmond Hotel combines traditional Namibian hospitality with service excellence.

This Namibia lodging offers fun and entertainment for the young and the youthful and features a children's games room, an outdoor pool, an entertainment centre with cinema, speciality shops and a fully equipped gym.
