Spitsbergen Hotel

With modern comfort in historic surroundings Spitsbergen Hotel offers a unique Svalbard experience. Situated on the "Hill" it has great views of Longyearbyen, the Lars glacier and the Longyear glacier. The hotel was constructed in 1947, but has been extensively refurbished over the years both internally and externally.

The hotel was originally built as accommodation/dining area for employees at Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani. It was also the company's official representational building, and its interior and architecture made it Longyearbyen's grandest construction. 

In the cosy lounge you can get freshly baked waffles every afternoon. Sit in front of the fire with an arctic book from our library and make the journey back to the time of Nansen and Amundsen. You can also use our gym and  relax in our spa department which has a sauna and massage chair.

The hotel can facilitate both small meetings and larger conferences. Our conference facilities all have modern AV equipment.

Funktionærmessen Restaurant was opened in the Spring of 2000, and has a fantastic view of the town, the Longyear Glacier and Hiorthfjellet on the far side of the Adventfjord. The restaurant gets its inspiration from the French kitchen, and you will discover a carefully planned selection of wines and dishes that tempt you with both taste and appearance.
