Hohenzollernhaus, a historic landmark in Swakopmund, was built between 1904 and 1906 in a Neo-Baroque style by Hermann Dietz, whose initials remain visible on the northern gable. Originally intended as a hotel, it struggled financially, leading Dietz to lease parts of the building to the Swakopmund municipality. In 1972, it was declared a national monument. Today, it is used as a residential building with privately owned apartments.

The Hohenzollernhaus in Swakopmund is a beautiful building with impressive architecture. Although I didn't have the chance to go inside, the exterior is still worth seeing. There are many photo opportunities, it's easy to find, and is within walking distance of other tourist attractions and restaurants such as Altstadt and Chrismann at The Trading Post. If you're in Swakopmund, it is definitely worth a visit.

We only did see it from the outside. Swakopmund is very German. As well in the good way, as in the bad way. It feels more like the old German instead of the new more open German. We found it need and tidy. But it was a strange situation in a country like Namibia. But for everyone I wish something he or she feels welcome. Swakopmund was to German for me.

Most photographed historical building in Swakopmund! It is only 100 metres from the beach and walking distance to all restuarants and activities. Beautifully renovated, fully furnished apartment! Would highly recommend it! Contact Owner Odette on +264 812148056

Stayed here for several days through Airbnb. Could not have found a better place. Perfect for sundowners on the balcony.

Really interesting house. Amazing what this German family accomplished in just a few years. Ask for the keys of the tower and they let you go up to the top for a fantastic view of the town.
