Hotel Heinitzburg
Windhoek, Namibia
HOTEL HEINITZBURG - WINDHOEK,
NAMIBIA
Namibia, the land between two
deserts, is a country representing the true character of Africa enhanced
by the widespread influence of various European and African settlers
who have helped to shape its modern history. The Hotel Heinitzburg
complements traditional African friendliness and beauty with excellent
European culinary art and a world-class wine cellar.
When
Count von Schwerin commissioned Castle Heinitzburg for his fiance,
Margarethe von Heinitz in 1914,
love was his inspiration, elegance was
his achievement. In 1996, the castle was transformed into a privately-owned,
luxury hotel. Today, its efficient and very friendly owners Beate
and Jürgen
Raith,
have preserved and complimented the Count's vision to combine comfort
with luxurious charm.
The Heinitzburg Hotel is
situated on "Luxury Hill", only five minutes drive from the
city centre, overlooking Namibia's capital city, Windhoek and its remarkable
highlands.
The
hotel pays wonderful attention to detail;
everything from the four-poster beds to the hand
made wooden furniture is perfect. The personal attention you receive
from your host is also something special.
Hotel Heinitzburg stands head and shoulders
above any other accommodation in Windhoek, and will make your stay
in Windhoek a memorable experience.
