About the Swakopmund Hotel

When visiting the Skeleton Coast of Namibia, the Swakopmund Hotel is a hidden gem. With striking German architecture and housed in the town’s old station building, your stay will take you back to a bygone era. With bright and spacious rooms all featuring air-conditioning, television, tea and coffee-making facilities and an en-suite bathroom, you can rest in comfort.

Guests will spend 2 nights here before boarding the Rovos Rail train, giving them plenty of time to enjoy the hotel’s casino, swimming pool, and cinema. The Swakopmund Hotel offers three beautiful restaurants to choose from, ranging from gourmet à la carte in Platform One to lighter meals at the Whistlestop Café.

The hotel is also just a short walk from the nearest beach, with a museum, lighthouse, and art gallery also close by, so you can choose to unwind before your rail tour begins or explore the local culture.
