This is not our first choice in town due to its size, but it does have a fairly happening casino.

Probably the most unique feature about Namibia is its space. Incessant deserts stretch for miles to meet the most dramatic sunsets you can imagine. This country, with its strong German influence, has a magnificent coastline speckled with charming little towns rich in history. One such town is Swakopmund. Built in and around its beautifully restored Old Station Building, dating back to 1901, is the Swakopmund Hotel and Entertainment Center. All rooms are decorated in a Victorian style reminiscent of a bygone era of grace and civility.
Befitting its Victorian theme, dinner at the Platform One is a slightly ostentatious affair. Here you can choose the à la carte menu or a specialty buffet. Platform One also serves breakfast, lunch and light meals throughout the day. Meals can be served in your room at certain times and there is a 24 hour room service snack menu. Hotel activities include an outdoor swimming pool, the casino, and the Entertainment Center - cinema, specialty shops and fully equipped gym. Activities in the area include golfing, tennis, horse and camel riding as well as the natural attractions of the desert environment. The hotel is surrounded by curio shops, jewelers, and local tour operators that can organize excursions. The surrounding areas offer dune related activities such as quad-biking, sand-boarding, paragliding, skydiving and dolphin cruises.
