Radisson Blu Polar Hotel

Longyearbyen


This 95-room chain hotel ('the world's northernmost full-service hotel') is the town's premier address, although the rooms are functional and extremely comfortable rather than luxurious; the suites in the neighbouring annexe are nicer. It costs 200kr extra for a 'superior room' with partial views of the fjord and Hiorthfjellet mountain beyond, and a coffee machine.

The annexe was originally accommodation for the Lillehammer Winter Olympic Games, then transported here.
