Hotel Heinitzburg was commissioned in 1914 by Count von Schwerin

 

HOTEL HEINITZBURG

Originally commissioned by Count von Schwerin as a gorgeous stone castle for his fiancé Margarethe von Heinitzburg in 1914, Heinitzburg today is the home of a lovely hotel. It is built high on a hill, with splendid views across Windhoek and the surrounding Khomas Hochland.


The lovely wood-panelled dining room




The interior of the old part of the castle boasts some wonderful wood-panelled rooms decorated with works of art by some of Namibia's leading artists. Enjoy cocktails in the elegant Ritterraum (Room of the Knights) before moving across to the beautiful dining room for a sumptuous meal.




The lovely rooms


Completed in 1996 in the style of the old castle, the new hotel wing is comprised of ten spacious and generously appointed en suite rooms. The rooms offer all comforts and conveniences, such as air-conditioning, television, and telephone, and are very tastefully decorated with Italian ceramic floor tiles, specially created hand-made wood furnishings, and huge four-poster beds.



The "Ritterraum"



Hotel Heinitzburg is very conveniently located, just minutes from Windhoek city centre, and within easy reach of the airport. It is owned and managed by Beate Raith, a very friendly and fabulously efficient hostess. Hotel Heinitzburg stands head and shoulders above any other accommodation in Windhoek, and will make your stay in, what is otherwise a relatively unremarkable city, a memorable experience.
