Location
Hotel Svart’s location is unrivalled - you simply couldn’t get closer to the Arctic wilderness. Set in the Svartisen National Park, the circular hotel is enveloped by natural beauty, forested slopes, dusted with snow, all around you and the calm waters of the Holandsfjorden fjord beneath you. The cherry on top is your views of the majestic Svartisen Glacier.
Accommodation
The unique design of the hotel is inspired by the structure of a fiskehjell, a traditional Norwegian structure used for drying fish. The entire property is set atop poles that elevate you above the water. The hotel’s focus on sustainability doesn’t translate to compromise on luxury or comfort. Inside you’ll find modern interiors with an unquestionable Scandic influence. Corridors are filled with quirky artwork and artefacts with many nods to the area’s local heritage. Its circular shape lends itself to privacy, with a good distance between each of the 94 spacious rooms.
With huge windows, your room will offer fantastic views across this glorious, tranquil landscape. Inside you’ll find touchless technology with intuitive options that further tailor your stay.
Various shared areas in the hotel showcase the property’s sustainability efforts and practices and so opportunities to learn more about this are plentiful. You’ll eat in The Marketplace, the hotel’s zero-waste restaurant where supplies come from local sustainable farms and fishing operations.

Experiences
- Hiking the glacier is an all-encompassing sensory experience - the sounds of the ice moving and the light creating all kinds of blue and black hues. Don your ice-climbing crampons and explore this constantly changing icy environment up close.
- If you are interested in wellness, Hotel Svart offers a wide range of innovative, modern treatments and technologies in its sensory treatment suites. Try the Alchemy Bar, where you can enjoy traditional regional healing scents and scrubs made from local flora.
- Spend some time in the Experience Center where you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of what the hotel calls life cycle saving initiatives, both on-site and within the surrounding area.
- At Svartisen Moose you’ll find some of the tamest and friendliest moose in the world. Spend some time here learning more about the history and lives of Europe’s largest land animal.
- Hike up a forested mountainside using steps (over 1000 of them) that were originally built in the early 20th century for rail workers. Refuel and rest your weary legs at the top where you’ll find a cosy, charming mountain restaurant with astonishing views.
