Hotel europaHof

Swakopmund - Namibia

The Hotel Europa Hof, under new management since March 2009, is ideally situated away from Swakopmund's traffic or noise, but is still conveniently located within 3min walking distance from the beach and the city centre, with it's modern shops, banking and medical facilities and wide range of restaurants and bars.

There is a distinctive German flair about the architecture and food on offer and subsequently, European and Namibian qualities have been combined, typical for this coastal town. Facilities at the hotel include a restaurant and a bar, a guest lounge, an internet connection, laundry service, disabled access and secure parking.

The Europa Hof's restaurant is a fully-licensed, and has a large 'a la carte' menu of both Namibian and German specialties. A set menu is on offer for large groups and vegetarians are catered for. The chef's specialty is 'Oysters on ice,' and other favourites include a 'Coastal Platter,' a variation of kingklip, monkfish and swordfish, decorated with a prawn, and served with potatoes, and salad. The 'Seafood Platter,' has a selection of fish as above, but with hake, oysters, sole, crayfish and calamari, with salad. The 'Venison Platter, has a selection of game meat, ostrich and crocodile with a mushroom sauce, croquettes and red cabbage! A fine selection of local beers and South African wines can be ordered to compliment meals.

Accommodation is 35 single, double or family rooms. They each have an en-suite bathroom, with either a bath or a shower, satellite DSTV, (with German and Eng channels) a heater for those cold winter days and nights, a tea & coffee station, an in-room safe and a small desk & work space. All of the rooms are non-smoking.
