Hotels in Windhoek (Namibia) With 250 000 inhabitants, Namibia's capital of Windhoek is the biggest city in Namibia and, in a way, the only city in the country. The attractive town lies at an altitude of 1650 metres in a beautiful valley bordered by the Eros Mountains in the north and the Auas mountains to the south. Towards the west stretches the Khomas Highland to the Namib and the coast. Windhoek has an international airport 45 kilometres out of town and a broad spectrum of hotels and guesthouses.
