The Delight Swakopmund

First impressions, upon entering the glass-fronted foyer, is the unusual décor which features bold use of colours and unexpected variations of traditional African designs. The open-plan lounge, bar and breakfast area is furnished with avant-garde style and retro touches, with a wonderful woodburner for the chilly winter evenings. The bar stays open until late so guests are able to enjoy a night out on the town, and return to linger over a nightcap.

There are 55 rooms in total, with ten loft-style family rooms on the second floor, and the remaining twin rooms spread between the first and second floors. All are en-suite, with satellite television and Wi-Fi. Décor is very much the same as in the main guest area - refreshingly bright, practical, and funky. The rooms flank a central courtyard, with some facing across the street, which can be busy, or the quieter area at the rear of the hotel.
