Expert Review
Origins
Hotel Zannier Sonop is still in its infancy as a hotel, but don’t be put off - it does not show. The hotel was opened in 2019 and enjoyed a season of success before the pandemic hit. But given its isolated location, staff were able to keep the hotel open during the pandemic, fine tuning service and offerings. Ever since, they have hosted guests from all over the world who come for the totally unique experience.
Top Secret
By special arrangement, general manager William will personally drive guests to the pinnacle of a hilltop for a spectacular private dinner or sunset drinks, with the desert sprawled around you.
The Review
Hotel Zannier Sonop is a true gem nestled in the Namibian desert, offering the perfect blend of luxury and adventure. The exclusive hotel stands out for its incredible location, ingeniously built on an outcrop of magnificent granite boulders overlooking the vast, unspoiled desert landscape.
The remote setting in the South West of Namibia allows guests to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of the desert. From the stunning sunrises that bathe the landscape in a soft, golden light to the crystal-clear night skies ideal for stargazing, the natural beauty here is truly breathtaking. The hotel's design, with its tented suites inspired by early 20th-century exploration, blends elegantly with the surrounding environment, providing a seamless and authentic desert experience.
Activities like guided desert safaris, hot air balloon rides, horseback riding, e-biking and sunset drives offer guests an opportunity to explore the unique terrain, where Oryx roam freely. The highlight, however, has to be the open-air cinema set up by the pool in the evenings. Guests can watch a classic movie of their choice as the orange sunset surrounds them, or after dinner enveloped by stars.
The culinary offerings are equally impressive, with meals prepared using local ingredients and served in the impeccably decorated restaurant that make the most of the spectacular views.
The staff's attention to detail and commitment to providing a personalized experience make the stay at Hotel Zannier Sonop memorable. This hotel is not just a place to stay; it's a journey into the heart of the Namibian desert, offering a blend of luxury, adventure, and tranquility that is hard to find anywhere else.
