So much activity at the Strand Hotel

The Strand Hotel was the hotel of choice of our National Namibian Ruby team in early September.

It was a great pleasure to host Namibia’s official World Cup Rugby Team, The Welwitschia’s for 5 days while they prepared for their World Cup campaign. They departed for Japan on 12 September and we will be rooting form them when they take on Italy on 22 September at the Hanazono rugby stadium. This will be their first match of the tournament. They get to play against South Africa the following Saturday.

For many a famished world traveler, hotel restaurants are where their dining dreams go to die.

Notorious for overpriced food, underwhelming entrees and barmen only passingly familiar with a Cosmopolitan, these dens of last ditch despair are certainly nothing like what’s on offer at Swakopmund’s sprawling Strand Hotel.

While plenty can be said about each of Strand’s uninterrupted ocean views, its understated and sophisticated rooms, plush spa, opulent gold elevators and charming old world accents as much can be extolled about the hotel’s cuisine.
