As a stylish stop before escaping into the wilds of Namibia or to catch your breath after a desert safari, Am Weinberg has earned its place among Windhoek's finest. Cocooned by a lush valley (breathe in those unbeatable views over a morning cuppa), the hotel has the look of a chic villa. Tuck into inventive cuisine under pinstriped umbrellas or replenish your relaxation levels at the Soulstice Spa. Overlooking the sunny courtyard, the rooms are dapper and fresh - and if its true privacy you're after, the spacious lofts are top drawer. On a walkabout through Windhoek you'll find scrumptious pastries and interesting history at every turn.

Sharp and classy, the rooms at Am Weinberg were designed for utmost comfort. A cool palette of greys sweeps across the Scandinavian style lounge area and mod cabinets, punctuated by a pop of florals on the large beds. The ground-floor rooms open onto the fountain courtyard while top-floor rooms enjoy a private balcony. The double-storey Oasis Lofts feature a quirky and colourful kitchen area, floor-to-ceiling windows and extra-length beds. The bathrooms have an industrial feel with white brick walls and an open rainfall shower (the lofts have a bathtub too). Other amenities include a TV and satellite channels, international plug points and a safe.
Supplied with water fresh from natural hot springs, the spa offers Turkish mud baths, floatation therapy and soaks in the heated jet pool.
The delicatessen has a superb array of imported cheeses, homemade pies and pastries - why not request a picnic to take on a walk through the estate?
With 41 rooms, the hotel may feel less intimate than you might expect but it doesn't lose any charm.
