Windhoek Hotels

Namibia’s relaxed capital with a character of its own

Stay in a Windhoek luxury hotel for a night or two, a great place to start or end your Namibia safari

Set in a broad valley surrounded by low hills, Windhoek is Namibia’s small but vibrant capital - a city where African, German and modern influences come together in a surprisingly laid-back way. While it’s often seen as just a start or end point for a safari, Windhoek is worth a short stay to get a feel for the country’s cultural contrasts and emerging urban energy.

The city is easy to navigate and pleasantly green, with wide streets, colonial architecture, and a handful of sights, including the Christuskirche, the Independence Memorial Museum, and the Post Street Mall with its open-air craft market. It’s also home to some of Namibia’s best restaurants, coffee shops and locally owned boutiques, making it an ideal place to relax and reorient either side of a trip.

Accommodation ranges from well-run guesthouses to boutique hotels such as The Olive Exclusive or The Weinberg, both of which offer comfort, good food and quiet surroundings. Though not a destination in itself, Windhoek is a welcoming, well-connected hub that gives a gentle introduction - or a soft landing - to your Namibian adventure.
