During its hiatus, the Lüderitz Nest Hotel undertook a comprehensive renovation, investing over N$12.5 million to enhance its facilities. The hotel’s 70 rooms were meticulously upgraded, featuring new floors, ceilings, built-in cupboards, and ultra-modern en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers. This significant overhaul aimed to elevate the comfort and aesthetic appeal of the rooms, providing guests with an even more indulgent stay.

In addition to room upgrades, the hotel’s public areas were given a thorough revamp. The reception area now boasts larger counters and improved lighting, while new lounge-sitting areas and a newly designed fireplace create a welcoming atmosphere. The most notable addition is a spacious 100m² lounge, which offers panoramic views of the ocean, peninsula, and the sprawling Namib Desert dunes. Guests can unwind here, enjoying various amenities including an extra-large HD TV for sports viewing and a fully stocked bar for refreshing drinks and delectable food.

The hotel’s culinary offerings have also been elevated with the complete renovation of the Penguin Restaurant, located at the beach level. The restaurant now features new tables and chairs, an extra-large marine aquarium, a unique oyster machine, state-of-the-art kitchen equipment, and an updated menu designed to delight guests with fresh and innovative dishes.

Further enhancing the guest experience, the Lüderitz Nest Hotel has upgraded its infrastructure with new hot water and electrical systems and installed full optic fibre cabling throughout the property, ensuring high-speed connectivity and modern conveniences.

General Manager Ulf Grünewald expressed his satisfaction with the renovations, emphasising the hotel’s commitment to guest feedback. “We place enormous importance on guest feedback, and the substantial renovations and upgrades are proof that we listen to our guests. Our hotel closed during the COVID-19 pandemic for 18 months, which allowed us to turn a challenging situation into a positive opportunity for improvement. Since reopening, we’ve seen a significant boost in occupancy and received extremely positive feedback from our international guests.”

With its enhanced facilities and renewed focus on guest satisfaction, the Lüderitz Nest Hotel is poised to reaffirm its position as Namibia’s leading beachfront hotel, offering an unparalleled blend of luxury, comfort, and breathtaking views. TN
