Svalbard Hotell & Lodge

Top choice in Longyearbyen


Svalbard Hotell & Lodge offers stylish rooms with dark Scandinavian wood tones offset by stunning large photos above the beds and splashes of colour in the linens. There are flat-screen TVs, and you couldn't be more centrally located for the main shops and restaurants of Longyearbyen. The two- and three-bedroom apartments, known as Svalbard Lodge, are similarly outstanding.

Watch for their new Elvesletta designer property, due to open nearby in 2018.
