Stuff You Should Know

Welcome to the warehouse where fish stories evolved into luxury legends. Timber beams don't just support the ceiling - they support an entire design philosophy. The lobby greets you with a beer tap at the check in desk, and the world's most ambitious fireplace is perfect for enjoying the check-in beer.

For peak maritime chic, we’ll help you book their lighthouse room - it's a 10-minute walk from the main hotel, perfect for those who take "room with a view" as a personal challenge. The spa offers canal-side soaking that makes regular hot tubs look booring. Pro tip: Canal view rooms cost more but deliver the kind of Norwegian water drama you came for.

Food and drink

Food + Drink On-site surprises

From Fish Market to Fine Dining

The restaurant pulls off a neat trick: honoring its fish warehouse heritage while ensuring nobody actually smells like fish. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner served in your choice of ambiances - traditional dining room or sun-soaked conservatory. The versatile venue manages to be both sophisticated enough for dinner and casual enough for a buffet brekky. Two distinct dining spaces offer either cozy indoor charm or conservatory brightness, proving that, like a good Norwegian sweater, this place layers well.
