Europa Hof Hotel | Swakopmund
The Hotel Europa Hof has been part of the Swakopmund town picture since the beginning of the 20th century even if not in the same form or under the same ownership. The years that the hotel has been under German management have left a distinct impression that is typical for Swakopmund. This is not only noticeable by the distinct German architecture but also in the food that is on offer in the restaurant.
In the hotel und restaurant, German and Namibian qualities are being harmonized combining European and Namibian values giving it a unique flair that is so typical for Swakopmund and Namibia as a whole. This combination is what attracts so many visitors to Swakopmund and is perfectly embodied in the Hotel Europa Hof. The Hotel is ideally situated away from traffic or noise but is still within 3 min walking distance from the beach, the city centre and most major tourist attractions.
