Fodor's Expert Review Avani Windhoek Hotel and Casino

129 Independence Ave., Windhoek, Khomas, Namibia

This comfortable and elegant hotel has all the conveniences of a large, smooth-running operation, with staff on hand at every corner to assist and pleasant rooms that characterize the property. Britain's Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip stayed here in 1990, the year of Namibia's independence. Ultimately it's the hotel's central location that makes it an attractive option, though the new rooftop ballroom restaurant, bar, and pool are a worthy spot for a sundowner.

PROS

  • underwent a recent renovation
  • most of downtown Windhoek is within walking distance
  • impressive breakfast buffet

CONS

  • navigating the entrance and parking area (if self-driving) can be confusing
  • doesn't have as much character as smaller, boutique hotels
  • the surrounding area is popular with vagrants
