Hilton Hotel Windhoek

From the exterior, the Windhoek Hilton strikes an ultra-modern figure, with a metallic-glass turret and a staggered profile. Walk inside to the classic trappings of a refined hotel: marble floors, a raindrop chandelier, a grand staircase. Throughout, you'll find a number of restaurants and bars. The Skybar serves up cold local and international brews and fancy cocktails, with a view. D'vine offers fine dining and wine and cheese pairings in an elegant atmosphere. The spa offers a number of massage and beauty treatments, while the gift shop stocks a number of local souvenirs.

​Rooms here range in luxury from the modern and comfortable Guest Room to the extremely lavish executive rooms and suites. All are outfitted with King-size beds, high-speed internet, an LCD TV and a spacious bathroom with separate rain shower. Executive rooms have spectacular city views, access to the executive lounge throughout the day. The Garden Executive suite opens onto a terraced garden. Suites offer more than double the amount of space with an additional lounge and dining room; the Diplomatic Suite enjoys 180-degree views of the city.

Namibia is a land of drama and contrasts - from its rugged coastline, its desolate moon-like pans teeming with game and striking red-orange sand dunes.​ It's an overlander's paradise, with miles and miles of open road. However, chartering internal flights are not a bad option for exploring, either – not only do they close the distances significantly, they provide a spectacular aerial perspective. While not the most cosmopolitan of cities, Windhoek offers plenty of creature comforts to weary travellers, and a few activities to help kill time. Tour the beautiful Christus Kirche nearby, sample exotic game meat from Joe's Beer House, or try your hand at a game of golf, squash or tennis on local courts.
