Swakopmund’s ‘collection’ of personalised hospitality

• 1 Day Ago

At the heart of the Swakopmund Collection of four distinguished hotels lies a deep passion for hospitality, reflected in every detail by a hands-on approach of its owner-managers to ensure warmth, meticulous care, and exceptional guest satisfaction.

“Our priority has always been to create meaningful and lasting guest experiences,” says Managing Director Johan Kok. “Each of our hotels is designed to offer comfort, elegance, and an exceptional level of service, ensuring that every visitor leaves with cherished memories of Swakopmund.”

The Swakopmund Collection of hotels each offer a distinct typical Swakopmund charm while maintaining the group’s high standard of excellence. This commitment to hospitality is evident in everything from the personalised service to the thoughtfully designed amenities that cater to a diverse array of travellers.

Each of the four establishments within the collection embodies its own character while upholding the group’s core values of quality and guest satisfaction.

The ‘Artemis Hotel Swakopmund’, named after the Greek goddess of wildlife and vegetation, is a blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Ideally positioned between the central business district and the ocean, this Mediterranean-inspired retreat features 21 elegantly appointed rooms, including family options, and a rooftop terrace offering panoramic views of the city and coastline.

“This is the perfect base for both business and leisure travellers,” Kok noted, adding that high-speed Wi-Fi and convenient access to key attractions make it an ideal choice.

The ‘Atlantic Villa’, stands as a 2023 winner of the World Luxury Hotel Awards. Featuring rooftop views of the ocean, and a fine dining restaurant, the hotel is synonymous with exclusivity. Its versatile event spaces, including a wine cellar, make it a sought-after venue for corporate events and intimate gatherings.

“It is a place where guests can unwind in comfort while experiencing the finest hospitality,” Kok remarks.

The ‘Swakopmund Plaza Hotel and Conference Centre’, set in the heart of Swakopmund, is surrounded by historical landmarks and a variety of restaurants. Designed for both business and leisure guests, the hotel features a state-of-the-art conference centre, accommodating up to 240 attendees. With a modern elegant design, the venue caters to both corporate functions and private celebrations.

“Our conference facilities offer a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere, making it a prime choice for events,” says Kok.

The ‘Beach Hotel Swakopmund’, situated just 50 meters from the Atlantic Ocean, offers a blend of coastal tranquillity and modern refinement. With the recently renovated Anchor Point Restaurant and an inviting rooftop pool, the hotel provides a setting for relaxation.

“Nearly all our rooms boast breathtaking ocean views, and some even offer the rare combination of both ocean and desert vistas,” Kok noted, emphasising the property’s unique appeal.

The town of Swakopmund itself serves as Namibia’s adventure capital whereby it complements the collection’s experience.

“The beauty of Swakopmund is that it offers something for everyone,” Kok says. “We pride ourselves on offering world-class service, a welcoming ambiance, and an experience that captures the essence of Swakopmund’s beauty.”
