Windhoek · the city centre, on Rev. Michael Scott Street

Hilton Windhoek

Windhoek, Namibia

The capital’s landmark city-centre hotel: 150 contemporary rooms and suites, a rooftop pool and Skybar with sunset views over Windhoek, five places to eat and drink, a spa and an Executive Lounge — all a short walk from the Independence Museum and the Christuskirche.

The stay

Five-star comfort in the middle of the capital

Hilton Windhoek opened in 2011 and is still the most striking hotel in the city — a modern block in the central business district, next to the Bank of Namibia and close to the main government and financial offices. The Independence Memorial Museum and the Craft Centre are within about 500 metres, and the Christuskirche and Alte Feste are just around the corner.

The rooms are decorated in a warm, contemporary African style, and many look out over the city. On the ninth floor the Skybar sits beside the pool on a wooden deck, a quiet place to swim by day and the city’s best-known sundowner spot in the evening.

There is a lot under one roof: the Centrum lobby café with live piano music, Ekipa for buffets and grills, D’vine for wine and tapas, the Kalabar sports bar, the Mondjila Wellness Centre spa, a 24-hour gym and event space for up to 400 people.

Executive Rooms & Junior Suites

A step up in space, with a king or twin beds, a sofa bed and a bigger bathroom with a walk-in shower, bath and double vanity.

Junior Suites add a separate living area and a dining table for four.

Both include breakfast and access to the Executive Lounge, with its 180-degree views over the city, afternoon tea and evening cocktails — well worth it for a business trip or a longer stay.

Diplomatic & Presidential Suites

The hotel’s top suites, with a separate living room and king bedroom.

The Presidential Suite sleeps up to three — two adults and a child on a rollaway or cot — and adds a dining area, a kitchenette, a private terrace and a marble bathroom with a separate bath and multi-jet shower.

Suite guests get breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails and snacks in the Executive Lounge.

What to do

Why stay at Hilton Windhoek?

For location and polish. You can walk to the city’s main sights, shops and offices, and come back to a full-service international hotel with a pool, a spa and plenty of choice for dinner. It works equally well for a business trip, a city break or the first and last nights of a self-drive.

The Executive Rooms and suites are good value if you want breakfast included and a quieter place to relax, with the Executive Lounge’s afternoon tea, evening cocktails and 180-degree views over Windhoek.
