Ishavs Hotel

Sitting among the spectacular landscapes of mountains, alpine forests, bright white beaches and turquoise ocean is Tromvik Lodge, a typically modern Scandinavian chalet with all the extra comforts.

Based in the pretty, little fishing and farming village of Tromvik, this is an excellent base for keen anglers and mountain hikers.

Large and airy, there’s plenty of room here for you and your clan with three bedrooms and top-notch amenities. Huge windows open out to gorgeous views – and the Northern Lights if you’re lucky – which you can enjoy from the bubbles of the outdoor jacuzzi, while the large porch is a picturesque summer BBQ spot.

This modern design hotel, now an important cultural venue, first opened its doors in May 2014. It occupies a privileged spot on the port in the city centre, affording it great views over the fjord and the mainland, as well as easy access to Tromso’s main attractions.

A large hotel of 290 rooms, The Edge has built a reputation for warm and intimate service. Guests will enjoy the experience of dining at the Kitchen & Table restaurant, run by Swedish Master chef Marcus Samuelsson, and there is also an atmospheric cocktail lounge in which to unwind. Each of the en suite guest rooms are furnished with the usual modern conveniences, including a television, desk, hair dryer and mini-bar.

Easily reached from the airport, The Edge is a premier choice for a stop over, but its proximity to Tromos city’s attractions – and the level of comfort you’ll encounter – mean that you may well want to stay for longer. You’ll be perfectly positioned to enjoy the centre’s nigh life and shopping, including the Nerstrand and Jekta malls. The famous Polaria Aqarium, the Polar Museum, Ishavskatedralen ‘Midnight’ Cathedral, Art Museum of Northern Norway and Mack Brewery are all also close by.
