Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Heinitzburg
22 Heinitzburg St., Windhoek, Khomas, Namibia
This is your chance to stay in a turn-of-the-20th-century castle, a white fort with battlements set high on a hill and commissioned by a German count for his fiancée in 1914. The spacious interiors have a luxurious fairy-tale quality, with handmade furniture, mirrors, and chandeliers, and beautiful fabrics that transport you to a stylish bygone age perfectly mixed with state-of-the-art modern comforts. The hotel also has amazing views of the city, and offers an excellent breakfast on the gorgeous outdoor patio. The fine-dining food and wine at Leo's at the Castle are synonymous with the style of the hotel.
Book well in advance, as this is a sought-after hotel in the city.
PROS
- lavishly decadent interior styling
- great personalized service
- five-minute drive from city center
CONS
- rooms don't have tons of natural light (it's a castle, after all)
- can be difficult to contact directly
- only a small number of rooms, so it books up fast
