The Weinberg

Overview

Located at 13 Jan Jonker Road in Windhoek, The Weinberg combines contemporary luxury with historic character in the heart of the Am Weinberg Estate. Its elegant architecture blends modern design with a heritage building at the centre of the property, creating a welcoming retreat away from the bustle of the city. As part of the Gondwana Collection, a family of lodges and hotels across Namibia, The Weinberg is an ideal choice for travellers beginning or ending a Namibian safari, as well as those wishing to explore the capital in comfort.

The hotel offers a selection of rooms and suites designed for couples, families and guests seeking additional space. The Courtyard Double/Twin rooms either open directly onto the fountain courtyard or feature private balconies overlooking it, while the Superior rooms offer an added sense of exclusivity. For longer stays, the spacious Loft rooms include a separate TV lounge and kitchenette. Family Lofts accommodate two adults and two children under 12, providing a practical option for families travelling together.

At the top of the accommodation range, the two-bedroom Terrace Suite offers the privacy and space of a residential apartment. Its features include a dedicated study, dining area suitable for private meetings, balcony, fully equipped kitchen and bar, and a comfortable lounge. A private garage for two vehicles and access through the estate’s residential gate or via a scenic elevator add further convenience. Room amenities include air conditioning, en suite bathrooms, tea and coffee facilities, satellite television and in-room safes.

Dining and relaxation are central to the experience at The Weinberg. The Sky Lounge is a highlight, offering panoramic views across the surrounding valley and an inviting setting for sunset drinks. Guests can enjoy light meals alongside a selection of wines and other beverages. Reflecting its name, which translates from German as “vineyard”, the hotel features an extensive wine list.

Across the Am Weinberg Estate, additional restaurants offer varied culinary experiences, complemented by a bar, garden spaces and the Life Day Spa. These facilities allow guests to enjoy dining, drinks and wellness treatments without leaving the estate.

Windhoek offers opportunities to discover Namibia’s history, culture and contemporary lifestyle. Visitors can explore landmarks such as Christuskirche, the Independence Memorial Museum and the Alte Feste, or spend time shopping at the city’s modern malls. For a taste of local cuisine, traditional favourites such as kapana, freshly grilled meat commonly sold as street food, and biltong are worth sampling. The hotel team can assist with arranging city activities, excursions and dinner reservations.

Beyond the capital, The Weinberg provides a convenient starting point for exploring Namibia’s diverse landscapes. Transfers to and from Hosea Kutako International Airport and Eros Airport can be arranged on request, along with city transfers. Go2 Tourism Shuttles connect Windhoek with destinations including Kalahari Anib Lodge, Sesriem and the Namib Desert, Swakopmund, and Etosha. These connections make it easier to continue towards Namibia’s iconic desert dunes, Atlantic coastline and wildlife-rich national parks.

Whether preparing for a self-drive adventure or returning from several days in the wilderness, guests can enjoy a comfortable place to rest and prepare for the next stage of their journey. The hotel’s central location and range of services make it a practical addition to itineraries combining Namibia’s cities, deserts and safari destinations.

The property also caters to business travellers and events, with four meeting rooms accommodating between 16 and 120 guests. High-speed internet and modern audiovisual equipment support meetings, conferences and private gatherings. Additional facilities include a 24-hour front desk, round-the-clock security and unlimited Wi-Fi. Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is at 10:00.

The Weinberg offers a refined combination of city convenience, relaxation and Namibian character.
