;
3 Hendrick Witbooi St; s/d from N$1380/2000;
)
Swakopmund's most established upmarket hotel bills itself as 'luxury in the desert'. In-
dividually decorated rooms with lofty ceilings and picture windows are tasteful and eleg-
ant, though the highlight of the property is its classic dining hall with white-glove service,
bone china, sterling silver and fine crystal stemware.
HOTEL
Swakop Lodge $
( 402030; 42 Nathaniel Maxuilili St; dm/s/d N$150/450/650; )
This backpacker-
orientated hotel is the epicentre of the action in Swakopmund, especially since this is
where many of the adrenaline activities depart from and return to, and where many of the
videos are screened each night. The hotel is extremely popular with overland trucks, so
it's a safe bet that the attached bar is probably bumping and grinding most nights of the
week.
