The Elegant Guest House, Windhoek

The Elegant Guesthouse is a boutique hotel tucked on the corner of Ziegler and Von Eckenbrecher, in Windhoek’s oldest suburb.

Its 17 en-suite rooms are contemporary in style, with clean angles and understated décor. Each features air-conditioning, satellite television, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a safe.

The property’s outdoor space is shaded by a variety of verdant palms. There is a small, charming garden – designed to suit Namibia’s arid climate – and a little swimming pool framed by a lawn with deckchairs and parasols. An open-plan kitchen serves up breakfast buffets. The hotel also boasts a comfortable lounge and an African fire pit for socialising.
